Eric Prystowsky

Dr. Prystowsky is a graduate of Pennsylvania State University and the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine. He completed his internal medicine training at Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York City, and training in cardiology and clinical electrophysiology at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina.
From 1979 to 1986, Dr. Prystowsky was Director of the Electrophysiology Laboratory at the Indiana University School of Medicine. In 1986, he was Professor of Medicine and Director of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Center at Duke. He joined St. Vincent in 1988 and is Director of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service. He is also Consulting Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center.
He has authored, Cardiac Arrhythmias: An Integrated Approach for the Clinician; and Clinical Electrophysiology Review, and over 780 publications concerning cardiac arrhythmias. He was the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology for 15 years.
Additionally, he is past chairman of the American Heart Association’s Committee on Electrocardiography and Electrophysiology, past president of the Heart Rhythm Society, and past chairman of the Test Writing Committee for Clinical Electrophysiology for the American Board of Internal Medicine. He is the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award from Pennsylvania State University (2007), the Distinguished Physician Award from St. Vincent Hospital (2014), the HRS Distinguished Teacher Award (2002), President’s Award (2009), and Pioneer in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology Award (2018).
Dr Prystowsky has been married to his wife Bonnie for 56 years, and has two sons, David and Daniel, and four grandchildren, Dylan, Laila, Amber and Noah.

Roderick Tung, MD, is a specialist in cardiac electrophysiology. He is an expert in the management of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), with a particular focus on advanced therapies for atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias. He specializes in catheter ablation — a procedure that targets and cauterizes abnormal tissue to eliminate heart rhythm irregularities. Dr. Tung is also one of a few electrophysiologists in the world who routinely performs epicardial mapping and ablation.

In addition to Dr. Tung's clinical work, he is dedicated to researching and investigating new and innovative ways to treat and manage arrhythmias. He currently serves as the principal investigator for several prospective clinical trials focusing on the role of robotic navigation, high-density multi-electrode mapping and early intervention to improve patient survival. Dr. Tung's work has been published in numerous respected, peer-reviewed journals, including Circulation, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Heart Rhythm, Circulation: Arrhythmia Electrophysiology and Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology.
