Dr. Zak Loring

Biography

Zak Loring is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Duke University with expertise in cardiac electrophysiology, specializing in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders and the management of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). His research employs signal processing techniques applied to electrocardiographic data, utilizing innovative analytic methods to phenotype patients and determine which interventional electrophysiology procedures may be beneficial. Dr. Loring's work includes predicting the advantages for patients with left bundle branch block receiving early cardiac resynchronization therapy and identifying high-risk patients for adverse consequences stemming from rhythm disorders who would benefit from early intervention. He completed his medical education at Duke University, where he also underwent residency training in Internal Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Loring completed a Cardiology fellowship at Duke University, during which he led multiple grant-funded research initiatives focusing on cardiac function and proteomic biomarkers, as well as non-invasive techniques for early heart failure detection.
