UCSD’s  Cardiac Electrophysiology Program is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of all types of cardiac  arrhythmias or abnormal heart rhythm.

An abnormal heart rhythm is a change in the speed or pattern of the heartbeat:

• When the heart beats too slowly, not enough blood is pumped to the rest of the body. Learn More
• When the heart beats too quickly, it cannot fill completely with blood, causing the body to not receive the blood volume it needs to function properly.  Learn More
• Learn more about arrhythmias in a patient tutorial.

Our high-volume, comprehensive electrophysiology program makes us leaders in the field of clinical practice and cutting edge research.

Conditions we treat

Using the most advanced technologies and latest research findings, our electrophysiology team diagnoses and manages the full range of heart rhythm disorders.  Our advanced equipment, including state of the art cath labs for electrophysiology testing, enables us to quickly diagnose conditions including:

• Atrial flutter
• Atrial fibrillation (View a patient tutorial)
• Bradycardia
• Ventricular tachycardia
• Supraventricular tachycardia
• Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
• Complete heart block

Members of the general cardiology and electrophysiology teams collaborate on each patient, working together from diagnosis through treatment and continuing patient follow-up.
