Response to Reviewer - Resubmission with Additional Sources

[edit]

Thank you for your review. I have significantly strengthened the article by adding multiple independent secondary sources and clearly demonstrating that the subject meets Wikipedia's academic notability criteria.

ADDRESSING CONCERN (A): MEETS ACADEMIC-SPECIFIC CRITERIA (WP:PROFESSOR)

The subject meets multiple criteria from WP:PROFESSOR:

- Criterion 2 (Major awards): Recipient of two significant international academic honors:

 - Gold Medal from the University of Tokyo, Japan
 - Egas Moniz Medal from the University of Lisbon, Portugal (named after Nobel laureate António Egas Moniz)
 These honors recognize substantial contributions to the field of cardiology.

- Criterion 6 (Pioneering research with significant impact): His research methodology for signal-averaged electrocardiography was adopted by the European Society of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and American College of Cardiology in their 1991 consensus statement establishing standards for analysis of ventricular late potentials (ref 33). This demonstrates that his work has been recognized by major international professional organizations as setting standards in cardiac electrophysiology.

- Criterion 8 (Significant academic leadership role): Served as Director of the Department of Electrocardiography and Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center beginning in 1984, where he established a Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program and laboratory (ref 2). His recruitment by Dr. Valentin Fuster to establish these services is documented in an independent biographical profile.

ADDRESSING CONCERN (B): INDEPENDENT SECONDARY SOURCES

The article now cites multiple reliable, independent secondary sources that provide substantial coverage:

1. DyslexiaGoa biographical profile (June 15, 2018): Independent third-party interview providing detailed coverage of his career, including his recruitment by Dr. Valentin Fuster to establish the first Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory in NYC (ref 2).

2. The Statesman newspaper review (January 25, 2018): Professional newspaper review identifying him as Professor of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center and providing independent coverage of his literary work (ref 38).

3. Business Standard newspaper review (January 25, 2018): Second independent professional newspaper review of his novel (ref 39).

INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OF RESEARCH IMPACT:

Beyond his own publications, the article demonstrates independent verification of his research impact through citations from other researchers and professional organizations:

- His 1977 work on ventricular desynchrony (ref 4) was independently confirmed 31 years later using advanced techniques (Liu et al., Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2008; Albertsen et al., Europace, 2008 - refs 31-32), demonstrating lasting influence on the field and contributing to the development of cardiac resynchronization therapy.

- His research on optimal band-pass filters for signal averaging (ref 30) was adopted by the European Society of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and American College of Cardiology in their 1991 consensus statement (ref 33), establishing it as the international standard for the field.

- Major breakthrough studies in catheter ablation published in the New England Journal of Medicine and Lancet (Jackman et al. 1991, Calkins et al. 1991, Kuck et al. 1991 - refs 34-36) utilized his bypass potential recording technique (ref 17), showing his work enabled subsequent advances in the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

- The 2014 Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement (Birnie et al., Heart Rhythm, 2014 - ref 37) adopted his 1991 recommendations (ref 24) for implantable cardiac defibrillators in cardiac sarcoidosis patients, demonstrating that his clinical recommendations have been validated and incorporated into current practice guidelines.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT:

- His research has generated over 250 citations in peer-reviewed literature (as noted in ref 21), demonstrating sustained scholarly impact.

- He trained under Dr. Anthony N. Damato, a recognized pioneer in cardiac electrophysiology (ref 1), establishing his credentials in this field from the early stages of his career.

- All medical journal references now include DOI identifiers for verification, and the article includes comprehensive wikilinks to establish connections with related Wikipedia topics.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE:

I have disclosed my relationship with the subject. All sources added are independent, reliable secondary sources from established newspapers, biographical publications, and peer-reviewed medical journals that provide significant coverage demonstrating notability per WP:GNG and WP:PROFESSOR.

The article now clearly demonstrates that the subject: 1. Meets multiple academic notability criteria through major international awards, research adopted by professional societies, and significant academic leadership 2. Has substantial independent secondary source coverage from reliable publications 3. Has had lasting impact on his field as verified by independent researchers and professional organizations adopting his methodologies as standards
