Experienced Cardiomyopathy Team
Our program treats more than 950 patients each year, including patients from more than 24 states and from countries around the world.
Cardiomyopathy Treatment Options
Based on our expert diagnosis and commitment to family-centered care, we will work with you and your family to develop the best approach for your or your child. We employ a range of cardiomyopathy treatments, including:
- Medical / drug therapy
- Cardiac imaging
- Specific evaluation of the heart’s electrical system
- Exercise and therapy recommendations
- Evaluation and surveillance of at-risk family members
- Cardiothoracic surgery, including Ventricular Assist Devices (VADS) and transplant
Genetic Testing for Families
We perform genetic screening of children and their family members to identify those at risk for cardiomyopathy. We can diagnose and treat children, adolescents, and young adults, ensuring consistency of care.
The Cardiomyopathy Program at Cincinnati Children’s is a Children’s Myopathy Foundation Accredited Center of Care
We are proud to be named an Accredited Center of Care by the Children’s Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF) for providing consistent high-quality heart care and specialized disease management to children with cardiomyopathy.
Center accreditation is based on self-reported hospital data, which is evaluated on the volume of pediatric cardiomyopathy patients, variety of pediatric patient services offered, expertise in the treatment and management of cardiomyopathy in children, and affiliation with an academic research institution.
