Angelo Auricchio is Editor in Chief of Arrhythmia Academy, Director of the Clinical Electrophysiology Unity at the Fondazione Cardiocentre Ticino in Lugano, Switzerland and Professor of Cardiology at the University Hospital, Magdeburg, Germany. He is the past President of European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) and Scientific Director at the Fondazione Ticino Cuore, an institution devoted to increasing the public awareness of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims and to improve the survival rate of its victims.
In 1991, he received the Young Investigator Award of the North American Society of Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, and in 2005 he received the Fritz Acker Award from the Germany Society of Cardiology for his research on cardiac resynchronization therapy. Dr Auricchio is also an inventor with 10 active patents and applications, the most relevant being a left ventricular pacing lead with an over-the-wire design; this lead represents today, the standard pacing technique for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
