Jeffrey
Olgin, MD received his BA and MD
from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his residency, cardiology
fellowship and cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at the University
of California San Francisco. He returns to UCSF as Chief of Cardiac Electrophysiology
after spending 7 years on faculty at the Krannert Institute of Cardiology
at Indiana University School of Medicine, where he developed an active
program in ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Dr. Olgin’s
clinical interest is in ablation and device therapies for arrhythmias.
He has developed novel techniques for ablation of atrial arrhythmias,
including atrial fibrillation. Dr. Olgin will be starting an Atrial
Arrhythmia Clinic at UCSF, which will provide comprehensive care of
these patients, including new ablation, device and drug therapy as
well as programs to investigate genetic links in atrial fibrillation.
In addition to his clinical expertise and interests in managing patients
with arrhythmias, Dr. Olgin brings a large NIH-funded research lab. His
research interests include understanding mechanisms of atrial fibrillation
and atrial remodeling. Dr. Olgin is active in the American Heart Association,
American College of Cardiology and the North American Society of Pacing
and Electrophysiology, serving on several committees. He is on editorial
boards of the major cardiology and electrophysiology journals and has
authored several textbook chapters on arrhythmias.
