We're deeply saddened to learn of Dr. David Haines' passing. EP Program Director at Corewell Health, Dr. Haines was a longtime board member to EP Lab Digest, esteemed Western Atrial Fibrillation Symposium faculty member, and trusted colleague to many. He leaves an enduring legacy & profound impact in #EP .
