After graduation from the German School of Athens, Dr. Theofilos M. Kolettis obtained his MD degree from Medical School, University of Athens in 1984 and his PhD in 1991. He trained in Cardiology at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, U.K and at the Athens General Hospital. He worked as a clinical research associate at the Department of Electrophysiology, Eastern Heart Institute, NJ, and as an attending physician at the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center, Athens, Greece. He is currently Professor in Cardiology at the University of Ioannina, Greece. Dr. Kolettis practices in the field of cardiac pacing and clinical electrophysiology. During subsequent stages of his academic career, basic research in Cardiology and Electrophysiology became a substantial part of Dr. Kolettis’ research activities. Specifically his research interests include the study of the pathophysiological effects of endothelin during myocardial infarction, focusing on ventricular remodeling and tachyarrhythmias. Dr. Kolettis established a laboratory for experimental Cardiology and Electrophysiology. He organised an experimental Cardiology research group and instituted a number of experimental techniques for the assessment of left ventricular morphology and function, as well as for the assessment of electrophysiological parameters in the post-myocardial infarction setting.
