James A. Reiffel

At the Columbia University Irving Medical Center/New York Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Reiffel has been actively involved in teaching, research, and clinical practice. He has regularly instructed medical students, postgraduate house staff, fellows, and other faculty at the CUIMC campus and has had an active practice in consultative clinical cardiology and cardiac arrhythmic disorders, including atrial fibrillation. He has taught and continues to teach  nationally and internationally. In addition, Dr. Reiffel has been a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Clinical Research Resource at the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at CUMC.

At CUIMC, Dr. Reiffel has been a faculty member of the Clinical Electrophysiology Laboratory and is s/p Director of that laboratory and the Clinical Electrophysiology fellowship program, as well as having been Co-Director of the Electrocardography Laboratory. In addition, Dr. Reiffel has served as Medical Director of the ECG Core Laboratory of the world renowned Cardiac Research Foundation.

Among his other professional activities, Dr. Reiffel is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the Heart Rhythm Society; a member of the European Society of Cardiology, the Cardiac Safety Research consortium, AF-Screen, and of the Vascular Biology Working Group; and is a diplomate of NASPExAM. Additionally, Dr. Reiffel has been and continues to serve as a peer reviewer for multiple professional journals in medicine and in cardiology, and on the editorial board of some.

Since 1974, Dr. Reiffel has been actively engaged in the management of cardiac arrhythmic disorders. Beyond his prior patient care activities at CUIMC, Dr. Reiffel has been and continues to be involved in developmental/research studies of electrophysiological techniques, antiarrhythmic pharmaceuticals and devices, anticoagulant therapy for atrial fibrillation, and multiple major multicenter trials including, among others, CAPS, MDPIT, ESVEM, MUSTT, AVID, AFFIRM, AFFECTS, OM-8, ADONIS, ATHENA, RE-LY, HARMONY, HEARTLINE, CABANA and ORBIT-AF. Additionally, Dr. Reiffel has over 500 publications related to cardiac dysrhythmias; has been an invited lecturer at many hundreds of programs and institutions world-wide; and has served as a co-author of the antiarrhythmic drug section of the ABIM Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Self-Assessment Program (EPSAP) and of the cardiac arrhythmia section of the ACC self-assessment program for cardiology.

Dr. Reiffel’s current research interests include the optimum management of patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter, the development of new antiarrhythmic and anticoagulant pharmaceuticals, and the use of insertable cardiac monitors for improved detection of arrhythmias.
