Key result
Review highlights over 45 years of Israeli contributions to clinical cardiac EP and implantable devices.
Why the study?
The article was invited to summarize over 45 years of clinical electrophysiology contributions and activity in Israel.
Summarizes the historical contributions of Israel to the field of clinical cardiac electrophysiology and implantable devices over 45 years.
Documents Israel's EP history without practice implications; leaves open future collaborative research directions.
When I was invited by the Editor of Heart Rhythm O2 to write an article dealing with the contributions of my country to clinical electrophysiology, I did immediately accept. What an honor to summarize >45 years of activity in Israel of a field that has known a prodigious growth since the first publication in 1967 by Dirk Durrer and Hein Wellens from Amsterdam of the case of a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome whose arrhythmias could be initiated and terminated by programmed electrical stimulation.
