About Me

My name is Brian Zenger. I am currently an incoming Cardiology Fellow (PSTP) at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) 

Contact: brianz@wustl.edu

Current Working Location: Zoom//Barnes Jewish Hospital 

Research Interests: My current research interests are largely focused on different facets of cardiac electrophysiology, including mathematical and computational approaches to improve our understanding and clinical management. Specifically, I am working on understanding cardiac STAR therapy for VT management through translational models. Furthermore, I am interested in the patient perception of these treatments including patient-reported outcomes and non-rigid clinical outcomes. I am also interested in AI/ML approaches to detect and isolate electrical pathologies from 12-lead ECG recordings. I have also explored different cardiac imaging research, including semi-automated cardiac structure segmentation, shape analysis, and diseased tissue quantification. 

My dissertation work was focused on the electrical detection of myocardial ischemia through experimental models of acute myocardial ischemia. Specifically, I improved the detection of the ischemic electrical source using invasive high-resolution cardiac electrical mapping. These advances will provide better, faster, and more accurate detection of myocardial ischemia in the clinical setting.
