Dr. Arthur J. Moss served as Editor‐in‐Chief of the Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology since 1996 until 2011. Together with Dr. Shlomo Stern (who served as Co‐Editor‐in‐Chief) they established the journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardioloy (ISHNE). The Annals has been making significant contributions to the field of electrocardiology for over 20 years. Since 2012, I have a pleasure and honor to continue this mission.
Dr. Moss described new method of treatment of long QT syndrome (LQTS) patients: left cervivco‐thoracic ganglionectomy (surgical procedure to diminish risk of cardiac arrhythmias) and this experience with LQTS patients led him toward establishing in 1979 the International LQTS Registry (Moss et al. 1991). This registry resulted in very significant advancements in the field of the LQTS and cardiac arrhythmias (Moss et al. 2003). Dr. Moss was eminently successful in getting funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH) for the registry for the last 40 years and this research led to major breakthroughs in understanding genetic causes of the disease, clinical manifestation of the disease and treatment. Dr. Moss published 180 scientific papers just on the long QT syndrome among over 750 papers in his career.
