Electrophysiology Program
The Electrophysiology Program – an integral part of the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center – focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in children and adults born with congenital heart disease.
A Midwest leader in treating arrhythmias, the Electrophysiology Program has the latest technologies and a dedicated team to correctly diagnose and treat the complex symptoms associated with arrhythmias.
Integrated Treatment
The Electrophysiology Program provides comprehensive non-invasive and invasive services:
Treatment can include:
- Insertion of a pacemaker, a small, battery-powered medical device designed to electrically stimulate the heart muscle in an effort to restore a more normal heart rhythm
- Implanted cardioverter defibrillators
- Leading-edge surgical techniques such as cryothermal catheter ablation
