Electrophysiology

Each year, our team sees more than 1,100 children with heart rhythm abnormalities, many traveling great distances for our services and expertise. If you live far away, we provide follow-up care via telehealth virtual visits so that you can visit with us from the comfort of your own home.

Our arrhythmia treatment options are second to none. We treat all types of childhood arrhythmia conditions, including those that are extremely rare. Our patients range from unborn infants with arrhythmias to adults with congenital heart disease.  

We offer noninvasive heart monitoring to help assess the exact cause of symptoms. We also perform ablation procedures, which can cure many common pediatric arrhythmias. Additionally, we can place pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators for children whose hearts beat too slowly or who are at risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. We are a world leader in cardiac resynchronization therapy, a specialized pacemaker used to aid in the treatment of heart failure. Our electrophysiology research team continually investigates novel and innovative ways to treat your child’s arrhythmia and deliver outstanding care that brings hope to your family.

Our unique pediatric lead extraction program is paving the way in the West to safely remove and replace leads for implanted rhythm devices in children, and our premier inherited arrhythmia clinic employs the latest techniques and technology to care for children with arrhythmias before and after birth.
