About
Lee Eckhardt, MD, MS is a clinical and research electrophysiologist and treats a wide variety of arrhythmia conditions particularly conditions that cause ventricular arrhythmia or sudden death. She is an expert in inherited arrhythmia conditions and directs both clinical and basic science arrhythmia research projects related to these interests with an overarching goal of prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). She also co-directs the Inherited Arrhythmia Clinic and the Cardiac Arrest Prevention Program. Learn more about her research program on the Department of Medicine website.
Dr. Eckhardt runs the cardiac athlete screening program for University of Wisconsin-Madison athletes and serves as primary cardiologist for any athlete who requires heart care.
