Service Professor Emeritus in the Department of Medicine at the University of Chicago and former editor-inchief of Circulation Research, passed away in his sleep on December 9, 2014 at the age of 83. Dr Fozzard’s career and life reflected the emergence and evolution of cardiac electrophysiology as research and clinical disciplines. It is remarkable to reflect on the advances that have occurred in cardiac electrophysiology and the interwoven role Fozzard played in those advances. 1Dr Fozzard attended medical school at Washington University in St. Louis where he had the good fortune of having his first serious research experience in the laboratory of Earl Sutherland, a future Nobel Prize winner for the discovery of adenylyl cyclase and cAMP as a second messenger system. This triggered Fozzard’s interest in the cell membrane and associated signaling pathways. He subsequently did his internship at Yale University before serving in the US Navy Medical Corps. He returned to Washington University where he completed his internal medicine residency and cardiology training. Dr Fozzard’s research on membrane proteins initially focused on the Na/K ATAPase which resulted in 1964 in his first
