Our team of cardiologists, proceduralists, researchers, and medical professionals is dedicated to advancing cardiovascular medicine at the vanguard of research and education, as well as providing exceptional care to patients with a wide range of cardiovascular conditions. Our fellowships involve complex clinical care, research, and training with world-renown faculty.
In this section, you will find an overview of the programs in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine:
The Interventional Cardiology Program is setting standards in minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular diseases.
As the first institution on the West Coast to bring robotically assisted interventions into the catheterization lab, we employ a range of new catheter-based techniques, including complex coronary, structural, lower extremity, and carotid interventions.
The Advanced Heart Failure Program is a quaternary referral center, dedicated to providing the highest level of care to patients with refractory (advanced) heart failure.
Our expert multidisciplinary team advances the state-of-the-art in Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS), heart, and multi-organ transplantation.
The Electrophysiology Program is a tertiary referral center stewarded by widely published physicians who are dedicated to researching, diagnosing, and treating heart rhythm disorders using the latest treatments and technologies for mapping, catheter ablation, external beam radio-therapy ablation, and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
We perform one of the largest volumes of device implantations, ablations and laser lead extractions in the nation.
The Preventive Cardiology Program develops and implements evidence-based treatments and techniques for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, as well as cardiac rehabilitation and the management of conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease and congestive heart failure.
Our extensive research and clinical trials focus on assessing the impact of behavioral, technological, and pharmacological interventions on cardiometabolic health.
The Advanced Cardiac Imaging Program draws from cardiology, radiology, cardiothoracic surgery, biomedical engineering, neurology, and other disciplines to research and provide state-of-the-art imaging services to diagnose and monitor cardiovascular conditions.
Our experts are at the forefront of advanced imaging technologies including MRI, CT, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiology.
The Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program employs a multidisciplinary approach to providing expert lifelong care to patients with congenital heart conditions.
It is the only comprehensive care center in the region accredited by the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA).
The General Clinical Cardiology Program at UC San Diego provides comprehensive and innovative care to patients with a wide range of cardiovascular conditions
With a multidisciplinary approach and state-of-the-art facilities, the program focuses on personalized treatment plans and pioneering research to improve outcomes for patients with heart disease.
