Andrew Landstrom, MD, PhD

Dr. Andrew Landstrom is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Cardiology and Cell Biology at Duke University School of Medicine.  He is a physician-scientist with expertise in heritable arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies and the application of genomic and precision medicine in cardiovascular disease.  He leads the Cardiovascular Genetics Clinic within the Pediatric & Congenital Heart Center.  He leads an NIH-funded research lab which identifies novel genetic loci associated with arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy development and determines molecular mechanisms of disease.  The overall goal of his research is to identify those who are at-risk of developing life-threatening cardiac disease, before disease develops, and to treat them so they live normal lives.
