宋瑞珍醫師 (Ruey J. Sung, MD)是坦福大學 (Stanford University) 和加州大學舊金山分校 (University of California at San Francisco) (UCSF) 心臟血管醫學名譽教授 (Emeritus Professor, Cardiovascular Medicine)。此前,他曾在坦福大學醫學中心,擔任”心臟電生理學和心律失常部”主任( Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Service)(1991-2001 年)。宋醫師畢業於國立台灣大學醫學院(1968 年),在威斯康星大學(University of Wisconsin) 完成了住院醫師( Medical Residency) 訓練(1970-72 年)。之後,任職邁阿密大學 (University of Miami) ,心臟血管醫學研究員 (Cardiology Fellow)(1972-74 年)。從那時起,他致力於臨床心臟電生理學(Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology) 的研究。 宋醫師最先定義了人類房室結 (Arioventricular Node)中,慢傳導通路(Slow Pathway) 相對於快傳導通路 (Fast Pathway) 的不同解剖位置(1981 年)。原理為導管消融(Catheter Ablation)治療房室結折返性心動過速(Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia)(人類陣發性室上性心動過速[Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia]最常見的形式)提供了解剖學上的基礎。隨後,他在臨床心臟電生理學實驗室(Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory)中,描述了三種不同形式(即折返性Re-entry、自動性Automaticity和触發活動Triggered Activity)室性心動過速(Ventricular Tachycardias)的動(Initiation)和終止(Termination)模式,以及它們對各種藥物的反應(1983 年、1988 年) 。1985 年,宋醫師晉升為加州大學舊金山分校醫學教授(1981-91)。1991 年,他被史坦福大學聘任為終身教授職 (Tenured Professor) 。2001年至2007年間,宋醫師返回台灣擔任國立成功大學醫學院院長兼大學副校長。過去40年多年來,他撰寫和合著了200 篇原創文章和66 篇關於心律失常機制和治療的特邀章節和專著,最終出版了一本題為“心律失常處理 的基本方法 (Fundamental Approaches to the Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias by Ruey J. Sung and Michael R. Lauer in 2000)”的書。他是心律基金會的創始人(Founders of the Heart Rhythm Society)之一,目前是美國科醫師學會(FACP)、美國心臟學院 (FACC)、美國心臟協會(FAHA)和心律協會(FHRS)的會
