Frank I. Marcus is an American cardiologist and Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center,[1] the author of more than 290 publications in peer-reviewed medical journals and of 90 book chapters. He is considered a world expert on arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC)[2] and has been or is a member of the Editorial/Scientific Board of 14 Cardiovascular Journals as well as a reviewer for 26 other medical publications.
Biography
Marcus graduated from Columbia College, Columbia University, obtained a Master's degree in Physiology from Tufts University, and received his M.D. from the Boston University School of Medicine, graduating cum laude in 1953. He did his internship and residency at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston.[3]
In September 2013, he was awarded a $1.4 million RO1 National Institutes of Health grant for a multi-center five-year study titled "Mechanisms, Genotypes and Clinical Phenotypes of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy."[4] The study aims to analyze diagnosis of patients and family members with right ventricular and left ventricular cardiomyopathy.
