The skills and equipment for treating irregular heart rhythms are highly specialized, but must be tightly integrated with the patient's overall health and treatment for other conditions. This is an area where Children's excels. Electrophysiologists work closely with other cardiologists and other specialists to achieve the best outcomes for these complex cases.
Because Children's routinely handles heart rhythm disturbances in infants and very young children, the program is attuned to their needs. Their smaller size and still-developing physiology require smaller equipment than that used for adults, as well as special care in anesthesia and exceptional diagnostic and surgical skills.
