Dr. Thomas's Biography — Dr. Thomas was raised in Florida. He received his undergraduate degree at the Johns Hopkins University. He received his medical degree from Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and completed an internal medicine residency at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Thomas then received cardiology and electrophysiology fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic. Currently, Dr. Thomas practices Electrophysiology as a full-time faculty member at the Weill Cornell Medicall College. He specializes in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders and performs a variety of procedures including: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter; catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia; implantation and extration of CRT devices, ICD's and pacemakers; management of palpitations and syncope.

Dr. Lerman's Biography — Dr. Bruce B. Lerman is the H. Altschul Master Professor of Medicine, Chief of the Division of Cardiology and Director of the Electrophysiology Laboratory at Weill-Cornell and the New York Presbyterian Hospital. He received his medical degree from Loyola University - Stritch School of Medicine, was an intern and medical resident at Northwestern University and completed his cardiology fellowship at Johns Hopkins. He trained in cardiac electrophysiology at the University of Pennsylvania. He has authored over 200 original publications, 60 book chapters and 2 books. He is a recipient of the Established Investigator Award from the American Heart Association and had received multiple grants from the NIH. He is currently on the editorial boards of Circulation, Heart Rhythm, Journal of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Pacing and Clinical Electrophysology and the Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management. He is a member of the exam writing committee of the American Board of Internal Medicine for the Cardiac Electrophysiology Board Examination.. His research contributions include elucidating the myriad electrophsyiologic mechanisms of the nucleoside adenosine, pioneering the concept of current-based defibrillation and determining the role of mechanoelectrical feedback as a stimulus for triggering malignant ventricular arrhythmias. His current work focuses on the the cellular and molecular mechanisms of ventricular outflow tract tachycardia. His laboratory has identified critical somatic mutations in the cAMP signal transduction cascade that mediate this form of ventricular tachycardia, thus introducing a new paradigm for the causation of ventricular tachycardia. He has been issued 4 patents. He clinical concentration focuses on the diagnosis and treatment (ablation) of complex atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as on the treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias with implantable devices. For the last 15 years, he's been named in New York Magazine- Best Doctors, Castle Connolly – America's Top Doctors, US News and World Report (Best Doctors) and the New York Times (Super Doctors).

Dr. Weinsaft is a member of the Division of Cardiology at NY Presbyterian Hospital - Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he is focused on the use of novel non-invasive imaging techniques such as cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, and nuclear cardiac imaging for the identification of coronary artery disease and related manifestations. Dr. Weinsaft completed undergraduate and graduate studies at New York University and subsequently received his medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine. Dr. Weinsaft completed his Internal Medicine residency and Cardiology fellowship at the New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center. He also completed a research fellowship in cardiovascular imaging at Duke University Medical Center, where he was subsequently on faculty prior to being recruited to NY Presybyterian Hospital & Weill Cornell to develop the cardiac MRI program. In addition to serving as the Michael J. Wolk Foundation Clinical Scholar at NYP - Cornell (2005), Dr. Weinsaft has received the American Heart Association's Laennec Society Young Clinician Award (2001), the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology Young Investigator Award (2003), and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Clinical Scientist Development Award (2006). Research interests include use of cardiac MRI and CT for identification of ischemic and infarcted myocardium as well as prognostic risk assessment.
