       胡丹教授(武汉大学人民医院心内科):李剑明教授的英年早逝在中美,甚至国际学术圈都引起了极大的震撼和排山倒海的悼念热潮。他去世前一天还和我们在网上开学术会议,当听到消息后我也和大家一样难以置信,久久不能走出悲伤的情绪。我深知剑明教授生前在美国非常看重心律协会(HRS),所以和其官方杂志——心律(Heart Rhythm)沟通后,与美国梅奥的查咏梅教授一起撰写了剑明的悼文。这也是给他在专业学术领域正式留下最后的痕迹,让全世界的同行共同缅怀他不平凡的一生。感谢所有关注和悼念剑明教授的同仁和组织,并深切慰问剑明教授的家属和挚友。剑明的精神将永存,剑明安息!

 

       查咏梅教授(美国梅奥医学院心脏中心):Jianming’s sudden passing is heart breaking. Jianming was a sincere friend, great leader for the VA hospital of University of Minnesota, a well-recognized, wonderful electrophysiologist in the cardiology community, and dedicated educator. We will all miss Jianming deeply. Our heart and prayers are with his family. Below is the photo taken in the South China International Congress of Cardiology conference, an electrophysiology training program co-chaired by Dr. Jianming Li (on the left).
 
 
       杨杰孚教授 (北京医院心脏中心主任):惊悉剑明不幸猝然离世的消息,难以置信,哀痛之至!我与剑明是相识10多年的老朋友。他睿智、豁达、包容、热情、温文尔雅。李剑明教授曾担任美国华裔心脏协会主席,是华人心血管病学界杰出的医生、科学家和教育家,是中美心血管领域交流合作的重要桥梁。他的离世是中美心血管领域的巨大损失。近年来,李剑明教授一直致力于中美心血管疾病研究的合作与交流,为中美两国心血管事业的发展倾注了大量心血,常常在各种学术交流会议上传道解惑,就在离世前一天,还在我们的网络学术会议上讲课。我们无比感谢他对祖国心血管事业的热爱和贡献! 在此沉痛悼念剑明教授!并向李剑明教授家属致以最诚挚慰问,万望节哀珍重!
 
       Richard Page教授(佛蒙特大学医学院,HRS既任主席):Jimmy was a special person. As a cardiology and EP fellow at UT Southwestern, he demonstrated unflappable good cheer and generosity. I was tremendously proud of the academic career he developed at Minnesota, with emphasis on teaching and care for the veteran population. A high point was visiting Jimmy for grand rounds both at the VA and the university; seeing him in his element, proudly showing me around, I was struck by the positive impact he had on learners, staff and colleagues. In addition to his regional impact, Jimmy played an important role in HRS interactions with our Asian colleagues. He was liked and respected by our international colleagues just as much as at home. HRS meetings won't be the same without seeing Jimmy smile as he greeted his many friends.
 
       Thomas Deering教授 (亚特兰大皮埃蒙特心脏研究所,HRS财政部长):We lost a great friend & colleague, Jimmy Li, who suffered a sudden cardiac death Thursday evening. Jimmy had been very active in HRS, serving as our ambassador to China, where he worked diligently to build bridges with our Chinese colleagues. He also served as past president of Chinese American Heart Association. More importantly, as those of you who knew him will confirm, Jimmy was a true gentleman, who quietly but diligently worked consistently to make the world a better place. He was one of those rare persons, whose gentle manner & sincerity allowed him to connect with all of those whom he met & establish lifelong friendships. He will be missed.

 
       Peng-Sheng Chen教授(美国西奈山医疗中心,心律杂志主编):First of all, I am very shocked by the news. It is a tremendous loss to everyone. He has generously donated his time and effort to both the society and the journal. I am just very sad about his passing, especially at this young age.
 
       姜楞教授(美国塔夫斯大学和马萨诸塞大学,美国华裔心脏协会创始主席):very sad news but a life well lived. Jian-Ming has always been an example of good nature, wise judgment and devotion to the people. He leaves an enormous legacy behind him, and will be missed by us all.
 
 
 
       眭子健教授(美国萨特医疗中心,美国华裔心脏协会现任主席): We all wish that we could have had more time with Jianming, because every minute with him was a valuable and up lifting one. You can’t help but being drawn to him by his warm and welcoming heart, his magnetic personality, his generosity in offering help, his wisdom that can help you solve the most challenging issue, and yes, that infectious smile! His impact on us will be forever lasting. He will always live in our memories, and his spirit will always be with us!

       剑明出生于1962年9月24日,在中国北部的吉林长大。15岁时,他考入南京大学,并于1982年获得生物化学学士学位。次年,作为精英交换生,他进入德克萨斯大学达拉斯西南医学中心,1988年获得博士学位,1995年在加拿大麦吉尔大学获得医学博士学位。1998年,他在多伦多大学完成了内科住院医师的实习。在经过德克萨斯大学西南医学院的心脏病学和电生理学专科培训后,他加入了明尼苏达大学,并于2002年开始在明尼阿波利斯退伍军人医学中心(VAMC)从事医学实践。他通过努力晋升成为明尼苏达大学医学院的医学教授。曾任美国VAMC心脏起搏与电生理专科主任、明尼苏达大学心律失常中心副主任、心脏电生理学专科培训中心主任。 
       剑明直到他生命的最后都在积极从事临床诊疗和研究工作,有着引以为傲的学术生涯。他一直提倡以病人为导向,并坚持以临床循证医学为基础的科学疗法。他是电生理学和心脏消融术方面的权威,也是一位杰出的导师和老师。他为世界范围内的心脏猝死预防教育、公众心肺复苏教育和医生培训做出了卓越的贡献。他被选为多个医学协会的负责人,比如2011年获选美国华裔心脏协会(CNAHA)主席等。2013年起他担任了国际心脏医生检查中心核心特委会委员。剑明将他的时间和精力慷慨地贡献给了心律学会(HRS)和杂志,美国心脏协会(AHA)和美国心脏学会(ACC)。在2016年至2020年期间,他担任HRS对中国的大使,努力与中国同行建立沟通桥梁。因其在心血管临床、研究和教育方面的突出贡献,他在2013年荣获“美国心脏协会英雄奖”。他的奖项包括2013年因提倡“起搏器感染意识和管理”而在中国心律协会(CHRS)获得的突出贡献奖;2016年由于他给全世界的学生无私地传授临床技能和专业知识,明尼苏达大学心脏科授予他的“年度最佳老师奖”。他同时还担任多家学术期刊的编委和审稿人。
       剑明是一个完美的绅士,有着慷慨大度的人格魅力,他为世界的美好而不懈努力。他是少有的真诚的人之一,他的鼓励和活力激励着我们所有人竭尽所能,做到最好。他的过世对HRS、AHA、ACC、CNAHA、明尼苏达大学、他的家人和我们都是巨大的损失。他是一位心电生理学和临床心脏病学的专家,一位敬业的医学科学家,一位优秀的教育家,一位有远见的领导者,一位重要的合作者,一位难得的同事,和心脏病学领域许多人的亲密朋友。我们将怀着深深的敬意和爱戴永远怀念他。
