Christopher J. McLeod, M.B., Ch.B., Ph.D.

Christopher J. McLeod, MBChB, Ph.D., is a cardiac electrophysiologist and adult congenital heart disease specialist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of complex heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), including ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), atrial fibrillation (AFib), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and arrhythmias associated with congenital heart disease.

At Mayo Clinic, Dr. McLeod offers advanced electrophysiology care for patients throughout Florida and the Southeastern United States, as well as national and international patients seeking specialized treatment for challenging arrhythmia conditions. His dual board certification in cardiac electrophysiology and adult congenital heart disease uniquely positions him to treat one of the most challenging patient populations in cardiovascular medicine.

"Every patient deserves a treatment strategy that is both scientifically rigorous and deeply personalized," says Dr. McLeod. "Our combined goals are to focus primarily on helping patients from a symptom point of view and to avoid sudden cardiac events. Our team leverages the most advanced electrophysiology techniques with a clear understanding of each patient's unique heart condition for the best possible outcomes and long-term heart health."

Dr. McLeod's clinical practice focuses on the comprehensive management of complex cardiac arrhythmias and advanced electrophysiology interventions, including:

• Cardioneural ablation – an emerging therapy targeting the cardiac autonomic nervous system for select arrhythmias and cardiac dysautonomia.
• Adult congenital arrhythmia management and long-term rhythm optimization.
• Ventricular arrhythmia ablation.
• Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardias.
• Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and device-based therapies for sudden cardiac death prevention.

He is a former Director of the Adult Congenital Arrhythmia Program at Mayo Clinic and has led multiple electrophysiology and cardiovascular research initiatives, reflecting his role as a leader in complex arrhythmia care. Dr. McLeod's integration of catheter ablation, device therapies, and evolving autonomic interventions provides patients with access to cutting-edge treatment options tailored to their specific condition.

Outside of medicine, Dr. McLeod enjoys spending time with his family, ocean sports and travel.
