Dr. Shaan Khurshid is an Assistant in Medicine in the Telemachus and Irene Demoulas Family Foundation Center for Cardiac Arrhythmias at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Affiliated Scientist at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT.

Dr. Khurshid grew up in the northeast US. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a BA in Neuroscience, went on to earn his MD from the University of Pennsylvania and obtained a Master of Public Health from Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. 

He completed internal medicine residency, cardiology fellowship, and clinical electrophysiology fellowship at MGH. He has a broad interest in improving outcomes in cardiac rhythm disorders, with a particular emphasis on the development and application of novel methods to estimate disease risk, in order to prioritize individuals for preventive interventions. Dr. Khurshid’s work has included development of novel artificial intelligence models to estimate left ventricular mass, stratify cardiorespiratory fitness, and predict of future atrial fibrillation using 12-lead electrocardiograms. 

Dr. Khurshid’s clinical interests include preventive, medical, and ablative therapies for atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias, as well as device-based therapies for pacing and defibrillation.
