Prof. Alessandro Capucci is Director of the Cardiology Clinic at Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy. He began his career at the Institute of Cardiology, Bologna University where he later became chief of Electrophysiology. From 1982 to 1984 he worked at the Electrophysiological Laboratory of Amsterdam University and subsequently became director of the Institute of Cardiology at Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital in Piacenza, before switching to Ancona as a full professor of Cardiology; he also is the director of the Residency School of Cardiology,He founded the first European Out of Hospital early defibrillation project (Progetto Vita) in Piacenza, Italy.
Prof. Capucci has published over 1000 scientific papers.
