Dr John Joseph Gallagher (1943 –2020)

Last November, my mentor in clinical electrophysiology Dr Eric Prystowsky, informed me about the decease of his mentor, our good friend John Gallagher (seeFigure 1). John passed away from complications of Covid-19, 21 November 2020. This was such a shock to us all. John was a giant in our field of clinical electrophysiology. His contributions, particularly in understanding and treatment of the WPW syndrome was pivotal. He offered hope and cure to so many patients. Since he was also an outstanding teacher and trained so many fellows, he not only helped his own patients but innumerable patients worldwide.
