Electrophysiology and Heart Rhythm Program
Our experienced team of pediatric cardiac electrophysiologists studies, diagnoses and treats abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Using the most advanced technology, we determine the cause of your child’s arrhythmia and recommend the best way to regulate their heart rhythm.
As one of the country's largest and most advanced electrophysiology and heart rhythm programs, we specialize in treating complex heart rhythm problems. Our team at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is often the first in the country to perform innovative treatment procedures on children and adults with congenital heart disease. Children with arrhythmias can lead healthy, everyday lives with the proper care. Our goal is to find the best treatment option for your child.
