  • Dr. Christopher Groh is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Utah. He specializes in the evaluation and management of heart rhythm disorders and arrhythmias. He performs catheter ablation procedures to treat complex arrhythmias including supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia from both an endocardial and epicardial approach. He also has surgical expertise in the implantation of cardiac devices including implantable loop recorders, pacemakers, defibrillators, and biventricular devices.

    In addition to performing these procedures, Dr. Groh is also interested in heart rhythm management for patients affected by arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, Brugada syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac sarcoidosis, and other types of congestive heart failure including those with ventricular assist devices. His research focuses on clinical predictors for arrhythmias while his engineering background steers him towards investigating new technologies to treat heart rhythm disorders.

    Dr. Groh received his undergraduate training in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University. He went on to earn his medical degree at the University of Illinois, Chicago where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at Northwestern University, during which, he was presented with the James R. Webster, Jr. award for clinical excellence. He continued his training in Cardiovascular Disease at the University of California, San Francisco where he served as Chief Fellow, and then, completed further training at UCSF in Cardiac Electrophysiology to specialize in heart rhythm management.
