Jeffrey E. Olgin, M.D.

Co-director of the Heart and Vascular Center

Dr. Jeffrey Olgin, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist, is co-director of the UCSF Heart and Vascular Center and chief of Cardiology. A specialist in the treatment of arrhythmias, he has developed treatment techniques for irregular heartbeats and founded the UCSF Atrial Arrhythmia Clinic that provides comprehensive patient care and studies genetic links in atrial fibrillation.

Olgin earned a medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed a residency, cardiology fellowship and cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at UCSF. He then went to the Krannert Institute of Cardiology at Indiana University School of Medicine, where he developed a program in ablation for atrial fibrillation. In 2003, he returned to UCSF as chief of Cardiac Electrophysiology. He is active in the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology and North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology. He is on the editorial boards of cardiology and electrophysiology journals and has authored textbook chapters on arrhythmias.
