UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center

What UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center does

The UCLA Health Cardiac Arrhythmia Center is a clinical department within UCLA Health, a nonprofit academic medical center affiliated with the University of California, Los Angeles. It provides diagnostic and treatment services for all types of irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, bradycardia, atrial flutter, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular fibrillation, serving patients across the western United States with selective international reach. The center operates specialized programs for atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia management in adult congenital heart disease, inherited cardiac arrhythmias (including genetic testing and counseling), and ventricular tachycardia.

Procedural capabilities include catheter ablation using stereotaxis magnetic navigation (one of only four such systems in California), percutaneous epicardial ablation (the first dedicated program in the western United States), surgical ablation via the Maze procedure, electrical cardioversion, and implantable device management (pacemakers, ICDs, and laser-assisted lead extraction). The Outpatient Device Clinic performs thousands of device checks annually. The center is staffed by fellowship-trained electrophysiologists and integrates closely with the Ahmanson UCLA Health Cardiomyopathy Center, the Ahmanson/UCLA Health Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center, and the UCLA Cardiac Surgery team.

Revenue is generated through clinical services billed to insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and patient responsibility, supplemented by clinical trials and fellowship training programs. Patient acquisition occurs via physician referrals, direct appointment scheduling, second opinion consults, and UCLA Health International Services. The center is not independently financed — it operates within the UCLA Health system and is not privately held, venture-backed, or publicly traded.

Products and services

• Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Program Specialized treatment program for patients with atrial fibrillation using state-of-the-art techniques, including those with co-existing conditions such as heart failure, congenital heart disease, or previous heart surgery.
• Arrhythmia Management in Congenital Heart Disease Comprehensive care program for patients with arrhythmias and adult congenital heart disease, working with specialists in the Ahmanson/UCLA Health Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center.
• Inherited Cardiac Arrhythmia Program Clinical, research and educational program focusing on treating patients with inherited arrhythmias through comprehensive evaluations to help patients understand diagnosis and management.
• Ventricular Tachycardia Program Specialized program for treating ventricular tachycardia using complex ablation procedures, with multiple heart specialists working together to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
• Outpatient Device Clinic Clinic performing thousands of device checks annually to monitor pacemaker and ICD function and ensure excellent patient outcomes.
• Catheter Ablation using Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation Advanced ablation procedure using stereotaxis magnetic navigation system (one of only four in California), allowing doctors to control catheters through low-level magnetic fields with real-time 3D X-ray integration for enhanced precision.
• Percutaneous Epicardial Ablation Innovative procedure for treating arrhythmias occurring in tissues outside the heart muscle by accessing the pericardium through the chest, with UCLA being the first center in the western United States with a dedicated program.
• Implantable Devices (Pacemaker, ICD, Lead Extraction) Implantable devices including pacemakers for controlling abnormal heart rhythms and ICDs for detecting and correcting life-threatening arrhythmias, plus lead extraction services using laser technology.
• Electrical Cardioversion Nonsurgical treatment using electrical shocks to correct irregular heart rhythm, performed as an outpatient procedure allowing patients to go home the same day.
• Surgical Ablation (Maze Procedure) Minimally invasive surgery using extreme heat or cold energy to create scar tissue in the upper heart chambers, blocking irregular electrical impulses that cause AFib.
• Medication Management First-line arrhythmia treatment including anticoagulants (blood thinners), beta blockers, and calcium channel blockers to reduce heart attack and stroke risk and slow heart disease progression.
• Genetic Testing and Counseling Genetic testing and counseling services for patients and families to assess the possibility of inherited cardiac arrhythmia disorders.
• Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program Advanced fellowship training program in cardiac electrophysiology, hosting cardiologists from around the world as part of the center's research and educational mission.
