Dr. Frank Cuoco is currently working as the co-director of Cardiac Electrophysiology and the Director of Cardiovascular Outreach for HCA Trident Health in Charleston, South Carolina. Prior to this, he served as Associate Professor in the Division of Cardiology and specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP) at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. During his tenure at MUSC, he served as both the Director of the Electrophysiology Lab and Operations and the Section Chief of Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.

Dr. Cuoco enjoys applying the basic science principles and problem solving skills he developed in his BME studies to the complex physiology associated with the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms (a.k.a. arrhythmias). Dr. Cuoco’s clinical practice focuses on the treatment of arrhythmias, which includes catheter ablation of arrhythmias, structural heart procedures (including left atrial appendage closure), and implantation of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and other heart failure devices.

Dr. Cuoco’s research focuses on novel techniques and technology for catheter ablation procedures, as well as left atrial appendage closure devices and other cardiac diagnosis procedures. He has been amongst the top enrollers and proceduralists internationally for multiple clinical trials, including those for pulsed field ablation technology. He serves as a consultant and advisory board member for multiple biomedical technology companies focused on treatment of heart rhythm disorders.
