Care for the Full Range of Cardiac Arrhythmias

At the Cincinnati Children’s Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Program, we evaluate and care for a variety of conditions including:

• Abnormal heart rhythms, which can be fast, slow or irregular
• Palpitations – feelings of the heart racing, pounding or skipping heartbeats
• Syncope (fainting) and pre-syncope
  • Cardiac-focused syncope that may be due to previously undiagnosed structural heart disease
  • Neurocardiogenic syncope (fainting)
• Cardiac channelopathies – hereditary disorders of the heart’s electrical system
  • Genetic variants or mutation predisposing to an inherited arrhythmia
  • Long QT syndrome
  • Brugada syndrome
  • Short QT syndrome
  • Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)
• Tachycardias – fast heart rate
  • Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
  • Other forms of supra-ventricular tachycardia
  • Ventricular tachycardia
• Conditions affecting the normal electrical system of the heart requiring cardiac rhythm devices such as pacemakers, implanted defibrillators and loop recorders
• Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
• Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation

We also provide services for families of first-degree relatives who have experienced sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death.
