Cardiologist and electrophysiologist

About me

Dr. Gregory Marcus is a cardiologist and electrophysiologist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias, including cardiac mapping and catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardias and ventricular arrhythmias. He is also an expert in implanting pacemakers, biventricular devices and defibrillators.

In his research, Marcus studies atrial arrhythmias, specifically serologic markers and genetic factors important to the disease. He is the principal investigator on research grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health and American Heart Association.

Marcus earned his medical degree from George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. He completed his residency at Stanford Medicine. He then completed his training in cardiovascular medicine and cardiovascular electrophysiology at UCSF.
