Paul M. Zoll

A heart specialist, Zoll realized that external electrical stimulation of fibrillating heart could reset it to beat normally. His research led to the "defibrillator" that is now carried in virtually all ambulances, as well as the cardiac pacemaker and the electrocardiogram. A long-time member of the research staff Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, Zoll also was a clinical professor at Harvard Medical School. He died January 5 at age 87 of respiratory arrest.
