FACULTY 2020
Professor Andrew Grace
Consultant Cardiologist, Honorary Professor of Experimental Cardiology, Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge
He is a recognized innovator with a particular interest in ‘disruptive’ technologies designed to improve patient care that have included devices, diagnostics and drugs. Some of his work has already changed practice, making some of the ‘most important contributions’ to the development and implementation of subcutaneous defibrillators. His clinical research focus is currently on both high-resolution charge density mapping of cardiac activation and risk prediction of ventricular fibrillation.
Professor Sana M. Al-Khatib
Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center, North Carolina, USA
Her clinical expertise is in sudden cardiac death prevention, atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, and implantable cardiac devices. Her research expertise lies in the design and conduct of clinical trials, outcomes research, and cost-effectiveness analyses. She has experience in electronic clinical decision support tools and use of big data to conduct research. She has close to 300 publications in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Al-Khatib is a Senior Associate Editor for Circulation and is on the Editorial Board for Circulation Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Heart Rhythm, and the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology.
He is EP educational lead at Royal Brompton & Harefield and the Royal Society of Medicine, regularly teaching cardiology trainees, EP fellows and cardiac physiologists. He additionally runs the simulation-based Harefield Transseptal Course and is clinical lead for Harefield cardiology’s human factors-based CRRISiS (Clinical Risk Reduction In Simulated Settings) training programme. He has recently been appointed catheter lab director at Harefiel
His interest in rhythm also extends beyond medicine: as a violinist, he is a rotational leader/concertmaster for the European Doctors Orchestra which raises funds for medical charities with concerts throughout the UK and Europe. His leisure interests include cycling and skiing.
Professor John Camm
Professor of Clinical Cardiology, St George’s Hospital Medical School, London
His interests include cardiac arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, stroke prevention, anticoagulation, clinical cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac pacemakers, and risk stratification in post-myocardial infarction patients.
Professor Marek Jastrzebski
Professor of Cardiology, University of Kraków, Poland
Professor Marek Jastrzebski, MD, PhD, graduated from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, in 1995 and since then works in the 1st. Dep. of Cardiology and Interventional Electrocardiology of the Jagiellonian University. After short stays in several centers in Europe and USA (London, St George’s, Bad Krozingen, Lancaster, PE, etc), he introduced over the years many new treatment options in his EP laboratory: ICDs, RF ablations of SVT, AFL, AT, VT, 3D mapping, focal cryoablation, fluoroless ablation, CRT, cardiac venoplasty, cryoballoons, conduction system pacing, etc. This led to an increase in the number of procedures from 100 in 1995 to 1250 in 2019, the creation of an active research team and the emergence of a new leading EP center in Poland.
