Biography:
Arthur J. Siegel, MD, is an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a fellow in the American College of Physicians. His research on Boston marathon runners has enhanced the safety of the sport by transposing evidence-based clinical paradigms from hospital-based practice to the marathon’s medical tent. Prevention and treatment of acute cerebral edema due to exercise-associated hyponatremia mainly in young women and reducing risk for cardiac arrest mainly in middle-aged men are among these measures.
