Our Founder

Dr. Eugene Crystal is the founder and chairman of the International Arrhythmia School, as well as a highly accredited Cardiologist/Electrophysiologist and Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. IAS was founded when Dr. Crystal spotted a gap between arrhythmia knowledge, rising technology, medical techniques and saw an opportunity to develop an organization specializing in innovation and education.

Alongside being the founder of the International Arrhythmia School, Dr. Crystal is an associate scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute, a member of fifteen International scientific committees for Cardiac Electrophysiology Congress, an author and co-author of 200 peer-reviewed manuscripts and a Cardiologist/Electrophysiologist at the Women’s College Hospital.
