Dr. Paul F. Cranefield, Dr. Paul Frederic Cranefield
Dr. Paul F. Cranefield (1925-2003) "was a true renaissance man. He made many important contributions to cardiac electrophysiology; among these was the monograph Electrophysiology of the Heart, published with coauthor Brian F. Hoffman in 1960, which for many years was a 'citation classic.' In 1988, he and Hoffman received the Medal of the New York Academy of Medicine for their work that ushered in a 'new era in cardiac physiology and pharmacology.' ... As a committed resident of lower Manhattan, Dr. Cranefield was active in the 'Off-Off Broadway' theater revival of the 1960s, and he served as the first chairman of the board of the La Mama Experimental Theater Club, and later as the first chairman of the Circle Repertory Company. Dr. Cranefield also enjoyed an active club life, and he was a member of the Grolier Club, the Century Club, the Players Club, the Coffee House, and the Savile Club."
