Cardiac Rhythm Management Lab

	Interdisciplinary studies at the UAB Cardiac Rhythm Management Lab Laboratory (CRML) involve the interaction and collaboration of investigators in the electrophysiology laboratory and surgical operating room. Results from these studies have led to and continue to lead to new devices and new therapeutic strategies to control and cure these arrhythmias in patients. Director Raymond Ideker, MD, PhD
