Rod S. Passman is a Northwestern University leader in cardiac electrophysiology whose work connects arrhythmia research, stroke prevention, and digital health. He directs the Center for Arrhythmia Research and is a professor of medicine in cardiology and preventive medicine, while practicing as a cardiac electrophysiologist at Northwestern Medicine. After earning a biology degree from the University of Pennsylvania, he completed his MD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1989, residency and postdoctoral training, and cardiovascular and clinical electrophysiology fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania Health System. He joined Northwestern as an assistant professor in 1998, became a full professor in 2013, and was named Jules J. Reingold Professor of Electrophysiology in 2018. His research includes implantable monitoring after stroke and monitoring-guided anticoagulation, including the REACT-AF trial. He has also mentored more than 75 trainees and early-stage faculty.
