LONG CITATION
Professor Stanley Nattel is a pioneer in the study of cardiac arrhythmias, using novel approaches based on a detailed understanding of fundamental mechanisms involved in the control of cardiac bioelectricity. His contributions include studies on mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic drugs, basic electrical properties of the human heart, and mechanisms of atrial fibrillation. His work has led to improved understanding and management of cardiovascular disease and the development of a variety of new treatments for heart disease prevention and therapy. Professor Nattel served as Scientific Director of the Montreal Heart Institute Research Center between 1990 and 2004 and is now the Paul David Chair holder in Cardiovascular Electrophysiology at the University of Montreal.
