Sports are Dr. Altawil's passions outside of medicine.

Nizar trained as a cardiac surgeon and found EP to be very precise and versatile.

Growing up with an interest in electronics, EP seemed to "make sense." Ronald likes the complexity in this field of study.

Being driven by intellectual challenges and cutting edge technology led Dr. Clarke to EP.

"I enjoy getting to know people and helping them to live happier lives, less encumbered by heart rhythm problems."

"The heart fascinates me." Outside of medicine, Josh enjoys working with AV and AV systems, and he likes bulldogs.

Filip's focus in EP is on zero or near zero fluoroscopy in ablation with interest in bipolar ablation in the treatment of VT.

Moses is passionate about mission work. He is motivated by the unmet need to establish EP in East Africa.

Dr. Apte is a history buff with an interest in maps. His research interests include mapping pathways in AVNRT and atrial fibrillation in patients with cancer.

"I am driven professionally by curiosity, interest in physiology, and medical technology."

John's hobbies include mountain biking and boating.

"I am interested in the human aspect of medicine and technology. In my opinion, electrophysiology and new methods in EP are the best of both worlds."

Tim enjoys travel.

Dr. Cazzoli has a very well rounded background enjoying travel, art, literature, philosophy, anthropology, and sports. She was drawn to electrophysiology by the "chance to actually 'cure' a disease and not just control it with drugs."

Moritoshi's PhD work focused on QT syndrome (congenital VT) which continues to be a primary research interest today.

Pavel's PhD work explores extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and has presented the topic at ESC Congress and Acute Cardiovascular Care Congress.

"Figuring out the electro-anatomical physiology and pathophysiology of arrhythmias," is driving Marijn's passion for EP. He is passionate about running and is celebrating the birth of his first child, a daughter.

Dr. Jadczyk is interested in machine learning and new technologies for advanced arrhythmias and is an alumnus of the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator and Johns Hopkins Tech Ventures studying voice-enabled technology and natural language processing.

Dr. Jøns' key interests in EP include arrhythmia mapping and mechanisms.

“Cardiology and Cardiac Electrophysiology have made substantial progress in recent times, offering exciting opportunities for clinical work, translational research, and lifesaving therapies.”

Indrek has a "can-do" attitude, and he is certainly not afraid of a challenge. He is interested in the safety profile and versatility of RMN. He enjoys cross-country skiing in his spare time.

Tyler is especially interested in ventricular arrhythmias, and his research interests include safety of lead extraction.

Erik’s research has focused on arterial stiffness and the impact of heart rate on central hemodynamics, and his work has been published in several journals. He is dedicated to patient care, but his greatest pleasure is spending time with his wife and three children.

ECG interpretation and understanding the heart drive Garry's interest in EP.

Dr. Tretzel is interested in research in AF ablation for the aging population and comparing it to medical therapy.

"The dynamic nature of electrophysiology makes it intellectually stimulating. I’m interested in learning new methods to help patients. My research interests are in atrial fibrillation."

Among various research topics, Dr. Varnavas is interested in the interaction between hemodynamics and electricity. Beyond medicine he enjoys studying European and international history, the cinema, and cooking for friends.

Ali has a deep motivation to improve cardiac health for his patients. He is excited to learn about robotics due to its potential to improve care and expand access to therapy. He grew up in Dallas, Texas and enjoys tennis.

"I have always enjoyed problem-solving. Challenge is what drew me to medicine. Medicine and especially electrophysiology allow me to solve challenging problems that improve patients' lives."

"I find the rapidly evolving technology and techniques fascinating, and EP is one of the few disciplines of medicine in which I can see an immediate and tangible benefit during/following a procedure. We are able to improve the quality of the lives of our patients directly, which is the most rewarding aspect of the work."

Miriam is driven by understanding the mechanisms of tachycardia. Outside of medicine, her passion is horseback riding.

"I like swimming and playing the piano."

When he's not exploring cutting-edge technology in EP, Harri enjoys both playing and watching football and ice hockey.

As a child, Daniel had open heart surgery for an atrial septal defect. Influenced by that experience, he pursued a career in cardiology. Today, he is motivated by the care of his patients and the evolving technologies of electrophysiology.

"I decided to train in EP because of my interest in learning diseases of the conduction system and helping patients who suffer from sudden cardiac death."

"Patients teach me the important things of medicine, just as family teaches me the important things of life."
