摘要

Cardiac electrophysiology which includes device therapy and invasive cardiac electrophysiology is a growing interventional field within cardiology that has mostly been occupied by men but is increasingly attracting women. As the percentage of female physicians increases and as men share more family responsibilities, many young physicians are facing the question of whether a career in cardiac electrophysiology is compatible with family. Conditions allowing family-compatible working hours are met since electrophysiological procedures are usually elective. However, current structural conditions often require a high level of organization to realize well-scheduled working hours. The long training period also requires good organization, patience, and endurance. For a successful balance between career aspirations and family life in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, motivation and a willingness to compromise on the part of the employer and employee are often warranted. Employers and supervisors can further support employees with families by appreciating their efforts and by offering dedicated support programs and childcare on site. The ongoing scientific and social–political debate is crucial for the field of cardiac electrophysiology to become future-oriented and bring about long-term structural changes to promote young talent regardless of gender and family status.
