About
Dr. Kim is the Director of the Arrhythmia and Pacing (Electrophysiology) Service at Texas Children’s Hospital. He is also a member of the Heart Failure / Cardiomyopathy Service. He is involved in collaborative translational research in molecular cardiology and is on faculty with the Translational Biology and Molecular Medicine Department as well as the Cardiovascular Research Institute. His specific clinical interests include cardiac ablation techniques in children, and the management of genetic arrhythmia syndromes. His research interests include the clinical characterization of arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies, as well as the delineation of their molecular and genetic basis. He has a particular interest in the molecular aspects of arrhythmias and sudden death in heart failure, as well as the role of pharmacogenetics in the management of arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy.
