Kenneth Gregory Morris matters as a long-serving Duke cardiology faculty member whose work connects clinical practice with research in coronary imaging, catheterization safety, cardiac physiology, patient decision-making, and integrative approaches to cardiac care. He is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke and is identified with Cardiology. Morris earned his M.D. from Ohio State University in 1972, completed Internal Medicine residency there from 1972 to 1976, and pursued a Duke University Hospital fellowship in Cardiovascular Disease from 1976 to 1979. Earlier, he served as an intern resident and chief medical resident at Ohio State, followed by past Duke appointments as Associate in the Department of Medicine and Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine. His documented publications span 1991 through 2005, including work on coronary angiography, myocardial infarction prognosis, contrast-agent toxicity, and MANTRA studies.
