Birmingham, AL (PRWeb) December 29, 2006 -– Richard O. Russell Jr., MD, cardiologist at Cardiovascular Associates in Birmingham, has been named Professional of the Year in Cardiology by Cambridge Who’s Who (www.cambridgewhoswho.com). While inclusion in Cambridge Who’s Who is itself an honor, only one member in each discipline is named Cambridge Who’s Who Professional of the Year (www.cambridgewhoswho.com). The Cambridge selection committee hand picks these special honorees based on accomplishments, academic achievement, leadership, and service.

Russell, who looks back over an illustrious career as he prepares to retire, has 40 years of experience in general cardiology, years in which the field has advanced dramatically. In his work at Cardiovascular Associates, he has been at the forefront of new treatment options, using the latest technologies to combat vascular disease and researching new treatments.

He is also a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. He has co-authored two books and published 70 articles.
