Electrophysiology (Diagnostic and Interventional)

Children’s National Heart Institute
Children’s is one of the few programs in the region dedicated to and specializing in the treatment of fetuses, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults with congenital heart disease and all types of arrhythmias. The electrophysiology team utilizes state-of-the-art techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias such as electrocardiography, echocardiography, esophageal recording and pacing, ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring, blood pressure monitoring, tilt table studies, heart-rate variability analysis, signal-averaged electrocardiograms, T-wave alternans, invasive electrophysiology studies and ablations, defibrillator implantation,Extraction Pacing and ICD Lead Extraction, and loop monitor implantations.

Children’s staff includes the first pediatric electrophysiologist in the region to utilize cryoablation for children with cardiac rhythm abnormalities. The electrophysiology service utilizes a team approach of physicians, nurse practitioners, and technicians to provide state-of-the-art care to children and young adults. - Departments & Programs - Children's National Medical Center </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="5"> </td> </tr> </table> <p><span class="pageTitles"><br /> </span></p> </td> <td width="7" align="left" valign="top" style="background-image:url(/images/verticalSeperator.gif)"> </td> <td width="154" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color:#fdf2e1" class="logo"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr><td><img id=right1 height=25 src="/images/buttons/quicklinks.gif" width=154 border=0></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackEvent('right', 'click', 'visiting');" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right1','','/images/buttons/right1b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="/Visiting/"><img id=right1 height=21 src="/images/buttons/right1a.gif" alt="Visiting and Staying at Children's" width=154 border=0 name=right1></a></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackEvent('right', 'click', 'refer');" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right2','','/images/buttons/right2b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="/ForDoctors/refer/default.aspx"><img id=right2 height=21 src="/images/buttons/right2a.gif" alt="Refer a Patient to Children's" width=154 border=0 name=right2></a></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackEvent('right, 'click', 'findadoctor');" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right3','','/images/buttons/right3b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="/FindADoctor/Default.aspx"><img id=right3 height=21 src="/images/buttons/right3a.gif" alt="Find A Doctor at Children's" width=154 border=0 name=right3></a></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackEvent('right', 'click', 'requestappointment');" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right4','','/images/buttons/right4b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="https://www.childrensnational.org/RequestAppointment/default.aspx"><img id=right4 height=21 src="/images/buttons/right4a.gif" alt="Request an Appointment at Children's" width=154 border=0 name=right4></a></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackEvent('right', 'click', 'bill');" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right5','','/images/buttons/right5b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="https://www.childrensnational.org/Bill/default.aspx"><img id=right5 height=21 src="/images/buttons/right5a.gif" alt="Online Bill Pay" width=154 border=0 name=right5></a><a onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right5','','/images/buttons/right4b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="#"></a></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackEvent('right', 'click', 'foundation');" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right6','','/images/buttons/right6b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="http://www.dcchildrensfoundation.com/"><img id=right6 height=21 src="/images/buttons/right6a.gif" alt="Give to Children's" width=154 border=0 name=right6></a></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackEvent('right', 'click', 'getinvolved');" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('right7','','/images/buttons/right7b.gif',1)" onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore() href="/GetInvolved/default.aspx"><img id=right7 height=21 src="/images/buttons/right7a.gif" alt="Get Involved at Children's" width=154 border=0 name=right7></a></td></tr><tr><td> <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackEvent('right', 'click', 'RSS');" href="/RSS/"><img height=23 src="/images/RSSbutton.gif" alt="Subscribe to Children's RSS Feed" width=154 border=0></a></td> </tr><tr><td><img height=9 src="/images/rightSquares.gif" width=154></td></tr> <tr style='display:none'> <td height="22" > <div class="related_title">Related Links</div> <div class="related_links"> <br> <div id="morelinks" style="display: none;" > <HTMLCOPY> </div> </div> <script type="text/JavaScript"> if('' !=''){ document.write('<div align="center"><a href="#" onclick="showlinks();
