Congenital Heart Disease, Pediatric Arrhythmias and Conduction Deficits (Heart Block), Cardiac Symptoms with Exercise, Heart-Related Concerns in Athletes

I am interested in helping my patients to optimize their cardiovascular health through safe exercise and conscientious use of medications and other therapies. I am involved in research and quality improvement looking at effective use of exercise testing and safe implementation of exercise and sports participation in our patients with risk of sudden cardiac death. I am trained in non-invasive electrophysiology, meaning that I manage patients with arrhythmias and heart block, but I do not do ablation procedures or put in devices like pacemakers or defibrillators. When I am not at work, I am spending time with my family (we have 4 wonderful kids). I look forward to working with you and your family and will take the time to help you understand and help you leave with a definitive plan.
