Dr Benditt has recently been honored with the Pioneer in Pacing and Electrophysiology Award of the Heart Rhythm Society. He is a Fellow of both the American College of Cardiology, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS). He is a member of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), and of the Council of Presidents of HRS. He is an associate editor of the Journal of Interventional Electrophysiology (JICE), and is a member of the Editorial Board of Europace. He has been a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), The Journal of Cardiac Electrophysiology, and the American Journal of Cardiology (AJC). He has participated in many professional society Guidelines and Consensus reports, most recently the Syncope guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology. He is a medical consultant to the US Federal Aviation administration on evaluation of individuals with transient loss of consciousness, as well as to several medical device manufacturers. His principal research interests are directed toward the fields of autonomic control as it applies to syncope (fainting), and implantable and external devices for cardiac rhythm management.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichele Brignole, MD FESC\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom 1996, he is the chief of the Department of Cardiology of Ospedali del Tigullio, Lavagna, Italy.\u003cbr\u003e He is Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology.\u003cbr\u003e He was the chairman of the Task Force on Syncope of the European Society of Cardiology.\u003cbr\u003e He is currently the President of AIAC, Associazione Italiana di Aritmologia e Cardiostimolazione.\u003cbr\u003e The main research field has been diagnosis, pathophysiology and therapy of syncope and rhythm disturbances and radiofrequency catheter ablation of arrhythmias; he has published:\u003cbr\u003e - 164 original papers currently quoted on Medline; he was first name in 75 of them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonio Raviele, MD, FESC\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGraduated with honors in Medicine and Surgery at Universita’ degli Studi di Napoli of University of Napoli in 1971\u003cbr\u003e Specialized in Cardiology at Florence University in 1974\u003cbr\u003e Since 1995 Chief of the Cardiology Division and since 2000 Chief of the Cardiovascular Department of the Umberto I Hospital of Venice-Mestre , Italy\u003cbr\u003e From 2000 to 2004 President of AIAC, Italian Association of Arrhythmology and Cardiac Pacing; from 2004 to 2006 Past-President of the same Association\u003cbr\u003e Founding Father and current General Secretary of ECAS, European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society\u003cbr\u003e Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology and fellow of the Heart Ryhtm Society\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eW.
