Biography

I am a board-certified cardiologist and electrophysiologist and an assistant professor of medicine and cardiology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I have more than 20 years of experience and am a specialist in cardiac electrophysiology: I evaluate the results of detailed technical procedures that determine abnormal heart rhythms and then design treatments appropriate for them.

I have expertise in:

* Arrhythmias

* Atrial Fibrillation

* Atrial Flutter

* Cardiac Arrest

* Electrophysiology Study and Ablation

* Pacemaker and Defibrillator Insertion and Management

* Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia Ventricular Fibrillation

* Ventricular Tachycardia

I am the principal investigator in a cardiac clinical trial called The Vest Prevention of Early Sudden Death Trial (VEST) PREDiction of ICD Therapies (PREDICTS). I graduated from medical school at Brown University and am a member of the Hellenic Medical Society of New York. I am also a fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society.

Industry Relationships

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.

Dr. Skipitaris did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2012 and/or 2013: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website at http://icahn.mssm.edu/about-us/services-and-resources/faculty-resources/handbooks-and-policies/faculty-handbook. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
