Dr. Marat Fudim, MD, MHS, is an Associate Professor of Medicine and an advanced heart failure cardiologist at Duke University Medical Center. He completed medical school at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, Germany, followed by internal medicine residency at Vanderbilt University and cardiology fellowship training at Duke University, where he also earned a Master of Health Sciences . Since joining the Duke faculty in 2020, he has held multiple leadership roles, including Medical Director of the Duke Clinical Research Unit, Director of the Heart Failure Remote Monitoring Clinic, and Director of the Heart Failure Device Clinic, while also serving as faculty at the Duke Clinical Research Institute and Duke Design Health. 
Dr. Fudim’s research focuses on the pathophysiology of heart failure, with particular emphasis on congestion, hemodynamics, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), device-based therapies, neuromodulation, and remote physiologic monitoring. He leads and contributes to numerous drug and device first-in-human, mechanistic, and phase II–III clinical trials spanning implantable sensors, device therapies, and digital health technologies, and has authored more than 500 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact cardiovascular journals. His work has helped define contemporary approaches to volume redistribution, congestion phenotyping, and remote monitoring in heart failure. In recognition of his contributions, he received the American College of Cardiology Douglas Zipes Distinguished Young Investigator Award.
