Jeffrey M. Vinocur, MD, is a pediatric and adult congenital cardiologist and electrophysiologist (heart rhythm specialist). He directs the Adult Congenital Electrophysiology Program.
Dr. Vinocur's clinical interests include managing conditions such as heart rhythm problems in fetuses, children, adolescents, and adults including Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia (VT), and premature beats (PACs and PVCs).
He also specializes in congenital, acquired, and post-surgical heart block (atrioventricular block) and hereditary arrhythmia syndromes including long QT syndrome (LQTS), catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), Brugada syndrome, and others.
Dr. Vinocur emphasizes patient/family-centered management with individualized treatment plans and a shared-decision-making approach to exercise. Additionally, he treats cardiomyopathies with heart rhythm involvement, including arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and other medical conditions with heart rhythm involvement, including genetic, neuromuscular, metabolic, and mitochondrial disorders.
For treatment, he offers catheter ablation of arrhythmias, including radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, and zero-radiation techniques and device therapy for arhythmias such as pacemakers, defibrillators (ICDs), subcutaneous ICDs, and cardiac loop recorders.
As an associate professor of pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Vinocur’s academic interests include many aspects of pediatric and adult congenital cardiology and electrophysiology, with particular emphasis on hereditary arrhythmia syndromes and on quality improvement and outcomes research including the use of multicenter registries, or “big data.”
Dr. Vinocur received his medical training from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his residency in pediatrics at the University of Connecticut, followed by fellowships in pediatric cardiology at the University of Minnesota and pediatric cardiac electrophysiology at the University of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children.
