Dr. Knight is currently the Chester C. and Deborah M. Cooley Distinguished Professor of Cardiology at Northwestern University, and has been the Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute at Northwestern Memorial Hospital since November 1, 2009. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in the School of Public Health, and his Medical Degree at the Ohio State University. After completing his training in Medicine, Cardiology, and Cardiac Electrophysiology at the University of Michigan, he joined the Michigan faculty in 1997. He moved to the University of Chicago in 2002 where he was the Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology for before moving to Northwestern in 2009.
Dr. Knight’s clinical interests remain broad and include management of all types of heart rhythm disorders and implantation of cardiac rhythm management devices, but his clinical focus has been on catheter ablation for complex arrhythmias. His research interests include atrial fibrillation, novel tools for catheter ablation, intracardiac imaging techniques, left atrial appendage occlusion, diagnostic maneuvers used in the EP laboratory, extravascular defibrillators, the use of defibrillators in patients with syncope and a cardiomyopathy, sudden cardiac arrest, and pacing to improve heart failure. He has been an investigator for several multicenter clinical trials, and is on the editorial board of several major medical journals. He has published over 350 peer-reviewed manuscripts, reviews, case reports, and editorials, and is currently the Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology and EP Lab Digest.
