Dr. Tristram D. Bahnson
Overview
I chose to focus my research and practice on heart rhythm problems, because these problems, unlike many other heart conditions, can be cured. New treatment options for heart rhythm problems are rapidly evolving, which also makes this field very exciting. I have been at Duke for nearly 20 years. Both of my parents were involved in health care, so my choice of profession is part of a family tradition. I also went to a school where there was a strong tradition of community service, so I am thrilled that I get to wake up every day and get a chance to make a difference. As a heart rhythm specialist, I have the opportunity to make patients feel better right away without the use of many medications to help manage their condition, which I find extremely gratifying. I moved to North Carolina many years ago because of its natural beauty and still enjoy spending time outdoors as much as I can. I am a trained classical pianist and also play the cello.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
1 Clinical Trials
Duke Cardiology Of Raleigh
I am a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist, a cardiologist who focuses on invasive and non-invasive treatments for the electrical problems of the heart, such as arrhythmias. Patient and family-centered decision-making is a core principle of my approach to patient care. I believe it improves the overall quality of care and patient and family satisfaction. When necessary, I can perform a wide variety of procedures for my patients, including ablation of simple and complex arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and ventricular tachycardia, and implantation of pacemakers, defibrillators, and left atrial appendage occlusion devices. I have expertise in implanting newer and complex devices, including cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, conduction system pacemakers, leadless pacemakers, and subcutaneous defibrillators. Dr. Friedman is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Heart Block. His top areas of expertise are Heart Block, Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Failure, Cardiac Ablation, and Pacemaker Implantation.
Joseph Kisslo is a Cardiologist in Durham, North Carolina. Dr. Kisslo is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Heart Block. His top areas of expertise are Heart Block, Aortic Valve Stenosis, Pulmonary Edema, Heart Transplant, and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).
Duke Cardiology Arringdon
I am a cardiac electrophysiologist specializing in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders and management of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). I am particularly interested in the management and treatment of atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and conduction system pacing. I manage patients with cardiac rhythm disorders, perform catheter-based cardiac ablation, and implant pacemakers and defibrillators. Dr. Loring is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Heart Block. His top areas of expertise are Heart Block, Atrial Fibrillation, Cardiomyopathy, Cardiac Ablation, and Heart Transplant.
