Year(s) Type of responsibility Level of Effort
Formally Supervised Trainees
Please see the foregoing list of past trainees in a separate Pacemaker and Arrhythmia Device laboratory of which I was director. More recently, and in anticipation of eventual retirement, I have merged my activities into the existing Electrophysiology Laboratory that is under the direction of Jeremy Ruskin. In this latter capacity, I have worked directly with each of that laboratory's trainees for the past 11 years with formal and informal lectures on the history and techniques of device prescription and implantation. This instruction has been provided both to the cardiology fellows and staff of that laboratory. I continue in this capacity spending one full day per week scrubbing in and performing device implantations with ongoing teaching of the cardiology fellow assigned to the individual cases of that day.
Formal Teaching of Peers (e.g., CME and other continuing education courses)
In my capacity as founder and past president of the professional society that is now know as The Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), I have participated in each and every one of the annual scientific meetings that have been held in various location in this country and Canada since the incorporation of the organization in 1979. This has involved giving formal lectures on specific topics of arrhythmia management as well as competition in educational debates on controversial subjects. The attendees of these individual teaching commitments is in the range of 500 to 1000 audience members.

Practice ActivitiesClinical Practice: My cardiology practice includes the full spectrum of cardiac disease processes ranging from congenital heart disease in young adults to degenerative vascular disease in the aging. Many of these patients have implanted cardiac arrhythmia devices but approximately one quarter are individuals with general cardiac problems alone. Of the patients with cardiac arrhythmia devices, there are approximately 2000 currently being monitored via telephone telemetry and the majority of these receive their clinical care through my office.
Because of my long standing interest in and experience with complex device problems, I continue to see patients who have had deleterious or ineffective treatment elsewhere with implanted devices and who need expert analysis of a troubleshooting nature leading to appropriate revision or removal of errant devices. Approximately one half of the 300 plus patients who undergo pacemaker device related procedures in the MGH electrophysiology laboratory emanate from referral through my office.
The publications that I have introduced through many years can be divided into those that preceded 1974 when a dominant interest in cardiac catheterization and coronary disease led to the training of many individuals now prominent in cardiology in this country. During that earlier phase, a focus on diagnostic catheter techniques lead to a book chapter relating to this subject [ref C-4]. Dr. Robert Dinsmore and I introduced coronary angiography to the MGH in 1965 and performed the first several hundred coronary angiogram cases together as well as training several of the current MGH physicians who continue to perform these studies and contributed articles to the literature on coronary arterial anatomy [ref#E-8] and analysis of complications of contrast agent use [ref# A-7, A-8, A-24, A-25].
A shift in the direction of my interests arose in 1974 and lead to a career dominated by arrhythmia device therapy and the training of sub-specialty physicians in this area. This included a full year of individual training of approximately 30 cardiologists world wide in the specifics of pacemaker implantology and follow-up. A sequence of publications of our early experience with transvenous cardiac pacing and comparisons with the transthoracic approach were instrumental in delegating the latter method to the dustbin [A-9, A-10, A-12, A-13, A-14, A-15]. The technique of sub-mammary implantation of these devices in women for cosmetic benefit was refined here at the MGH Pacemaker Lab [A-45]. The early application of dual chamber cardiac pacemaker use at the MGH arose through my consulting experiences with several manufacturers and modifications of circuit design and lead design were one of the consequences. A local "Boston Pacemaker Club" was formed in Boston in 1974 and incorporated under a 501 C-3 tax exempt code as an educational organization to attract other physicians and engineers in the New England area who were involved in this specialty and in 1979, the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE) was formed and incorporated in Massachusetts under the leadership of the original four founding members (myself, Victor Parsonnet, Seymour Furman, Dryden Morse) [C-6]. I served as the president and organizer for the first two years and have continued as Treasurer and Chairman of its membership committee. This organization is now global with 5000+ members and over 50 countries represented. The national headquarters is in Washington, D.C. Annual Scientific Meetings of NASPE now attract in excess of 16,000 attendees with an annual budget in excess of six million dollars. This meeting was held in Denver in 2010.

Clinical Innovations A childhood interest in model making, fly tying, piano playing and fly fishing led to a pragmatic application of associated techniques to the performance of arrhythmia device implantation that has included techniques for cosmetic device implantation by the sub-mammary route (publication A-45). Similar tunneling methodologies were employed in the initial defibrillator lead insertions and subsequent introduction of the non lead defibrillator now in development. So too, for female patients who have undergone double radical mastectomy, lead insertion via the external jugular vein with leads tunneled to an axillary pocket has save such women form the more invasive thoracotomy approach. Mechanical splicing techniques employed for repair of fractured pacing leads was commonplace with the original early lead designs and involved from methods similar to those used in the repair of fly rods. Much of the software that is employed in today's arrhythmia devices came about through collegial consulting arrangements with the Vitatron and Cordis pacing manufacturers which produced an understanding of the role of retrograde ventriculo-atrial conduction as it affected early pacer designs that were afflicted with pacemaker mediated tachycardias. The application of dual atrial pacing leads in patients who have undergone orthotopic cardiac transplantation to synchronize two functioning atrial signals through use of a double yoke connector was developed in the MGH lab.
Report of Education of Patients and Service to the Community
ActivitiesThe Boston Pacemaker Club was instigated in 1974 to provide physicians and surgeons with a common arena in which to exchange techniques and understanding of arrhythmia management. These quarterly lectures were usually held at the Boston Shriners Auditorium and the public were invited to participate. This effort to educate device recipients has been carried forward to the society originally known as NASPE and now designated The Heart Rhythm Society which offers a web site for the public to educate themselves on the specifics of device therapy as well as to search for acknowledged experts within their geographic area.
Educational Material for Patients and the Lay CommunityGroup materials (in print or other media) into three categories
Books, monographs, articles and presentations in other media
I have authored several stand alone books that reflect proceedings of various scientific meetings, prepared a video tape of surgical techniques of device placement, and created several thousand kodachrome, educational slides that depict anatomy, physiology, and mechanisms of device placement and complications. These have been pre-empted now by the introduction of Power Points visual aids and I am laboriously converted 45 years of lectures that utilize the foregoing visual aids into a computer based format.
Patient educational material
A variety of patient oriented educational booklets have been prepared and printed for distribution to device recipients with art work provided by the MGH medical art department. These have been updated over many decades to stay current with evolving technology and now address various aspects of arrhythmia management including pacemakers, defibrillators and ablative and medication techniques.
RecognitionSee above under Honors and Prizes: Because of my long association with arrhythmia management and device therapy including the education of several dozen "gurus" around the world, I have developed a reputation as the "go to" individual for complex arrhythmia management and analysis of device complications and a substantial proportion of my clinical activities continues to focus on these areas.

Narrative Report
The majority of my educational pursuits in earlier years involved cardiac catheterization techniques and the management of coronary artery disease syndromes including aortocoronary bypass grafting and endarterectomy for acute coronary syndromes and the surgical treatment of ischemic congestive heart failure. Since 1974, my interests have turned toward pacing and arrhythmia management.
The era when effective cardiac pacing devices were introduced for the management of cardiac arrhythmias coincided with the early stages of my career and has played a dominant role in my clinical as well as research interests. The early devices were cumbersome, and clunky in design with major deficiencies both in pacemaker lead design as well as pulse generator performance. The opportunity to participate as a consultant with two of the dominant manufacturers of pacing systems (Cordis Corporation in this country and Vitatron in Europe) offered the opportunity to blend the talents of the electronic design engineers with the clinical expertise in arrhythmia management of physician consultants. Collegial collaboration with cardiologists and surgeons involved in this technology has provided a mutual self education process to the betterment of patient care and improved device design. The resultant products include the original programmable dual chamber pacemaker produced by Cordis (Sequicor and Gemini models) and a variation of the adaptive rate pacemaker based on QT interval analysis produced by Vitatron (Quintech). This is reflected in a heavy lecture commitment in this country as well as overseas plus the annual commitment to work closely with a single cardiology trainee each year who gains expertise in over 300 device implant procedures. Such trainees (approximately 30 in number) now constitute recognized experts in pacing in this country as well as abroad. Prior work in the cardiac catheterization laboratory where an interest in hemodynamics prevailed led to collaborative studies as they relate to pacing and a number of publications that focused on contributions of atrial transport to ventricular function and patient well being confirmed by application of Doppler output methodology and quality of life protocols. In recent years, an interest in the interaction of environmental sources of electromagnetic interference with cardiac arrhythmia devices has lead to publications and oral presentations at national and international meetings on this topic as well as serving as an expert witness before government committees in this country and Europe.
The majority of my research interests in the past 25 years have involved clinical research that has been supported by income from private practice or donations from patients (MGH Fund 1200-64-028-784)
As a consultant to the American Medical Foundation (Philadelphia.Pa.) [Claude Welch was an original founding member], I perform in-depth analyses of hospital and physician performance of cardiac pacemaker procedures that have been found to be deficient during a Medicare or regional medical society review process culminating in their loss of accreditation. Such reviews involve 4-5 medical facilities annually with individual analyses of 75 – 100 patient records – each review culminating in a lengthy advisory document that offers a critique of the institution's weaknesses and recommended corrective procedures. I continue to work with MGH Cardiology trainees in teaching the techniques and technology of cardiac pacemakers and encouraging them to submit papers on these topics to various medical journals including PACE, the journal of pacing and electrophysiology of which I am an editorial board member.
In recent years, I have been called upon as a witness in the subject of electromagnetic interference and its impact upon patients with cardiac arrhythmia devices and have appeared before the Food and Drug Administration Safety Standards Committee in Bethesda, the FDA annual meeting in Boston, the New Hampshire State Legislative Technology Review Committee in Concord, N.H., and the German Government Technology Review Panel in Berlin to address various issues relative to electronic article surveillance systems (EAS) and other sources of EMI and cardiac device wearers.
