About Edward S Kim

Academic Title

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics

Biography/ Philosophy of Care

Dr. Kim joined the University of Louisville Division of Pediatric Cardiology in 2007. Under his leadership, the interventional cardiac catheterization team at Norton Children’s Hospital and the University of Louisville provides the most up-to-date procedures without the need for open heart surgery, including implanting artificial heart valves (Melody valve, Sapien valve) and closing abnormal blood vessels in premature infants weighing less than 3 pounds. Dr. Kim’s cardiac catheterization laboratory is a part of a national collaborative, the Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes (C3PO), ensuring the best outcomes and continuous improvement. Dr. Kim manages patients in our Single Ventricle Clinic, which participates with the National Pediatric Cardiology – Quality Improvement Collaborative (NPC-QIC), a group of children’s hospitals across the US working to improve care for infants with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).
