Mark E. Josephson, M.D., (born 1943) is an American cardiologist and writer, who was in the 1970s one of the American pioneers of the medical cardiology subspecialty of cardiac electrophysiology. His classic text, ''Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: Techniques and Interpretations'', is widely acknowledged as the definitive treatment of the discipline. He is currently the Herman Dana Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and the director of the Harvard-Thorndike Electrophysiology Institute and Arrhythmia Service. He also currently serves as chief of cardiology at Harvard University's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.〔(Search - Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center )〕 == Career == Dr. Josephson is a graduate of Trinity College and subsequently went to medical school at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He completed his residency training in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and his fellowship training in cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.〔Marchlinski, Francis. "A Biography of Mark E. Josephson, M.D." ''Heart Rhythm Society Online''. Internet, http://www.hrsonline.org/News/ep-history/notable-figures/markjosephson.cfm, 2010.〕 After spending two years as a research associate with Dr. Anthony Damato at the Staten Island Public Health Service Hospital, he published articles on the electrophysiologic basis and anatomic location of AV nodal reentry and map-guided subendocardial resection to cure ventricular tachycardia, a procedure Time dubbed "the Pennsylvania Peel" in honor of the Penn cardiology department's surgical innovation.〔 Dr. Josephson's work helped to transform electrophysiology from a research field to a powerful clinical discipline for treating patients. Dr. Josephson has published over 400 original journal articles and 200 book chapters and reviews and is the author of the fundamental textbook of clinical cardiac electrophysiology, ''Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: Techniques and Interpretations''.〔 Throughout his career at Penn and more recently at Harvard, Dr. Josephson has inspired and trained over a hundred electrophysiologists. He first published "Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: Techniques and Interpretations" in 1979 and the textbook now in its fourth edition remains one of the definitive electrophysiology textbooks. Josephson has worked closely over the years with European cardiac electrophysiology pioneer Hein J. J. Wellens, M.D., chief of cardiology ''emeritus'' at the University of Limburg in Maastricht, Netherlands. For over 30 years, they have been coaching together at high-yield "How to Approach Complex Arrhythmias" course for cardiologists 〔http://cardioacademy.info/documents/cy12/How%20to%20Approach%20-%20Berlin%202012.pdf〕 and EP fellows.〔http://www.cardioquiron.com/quienessomos/img/Boston_download.pdf〕 For the past decade they have initiated an advanced course "Intracardiac Unknowns" which is attended by almost all electrophysiology trainees in the USA. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Josephson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
