Matthew D. Pugh, DO, a cardiac electrophysiologist in Chula Vista's Medical Center Drive corridor, holds board certification in both cardiology and clinical cardiac electrophysiology from the American Board of Internal Medicine. His catheter-ablation volume for atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia places him within the multi-specialist cardiac ecosystem at the Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego, which shares the Medical Center Court complex. He earned his DO from Midwestern University's Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2005, completed internal medicine residency at Franciscan Health, and finished a clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at LA County-Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in 2013. His procedural scope covers implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement, cardiac resynchronization therapy device implantation, and transesophageal echocardiography-guided cardioversion. Pre-procedural and post-ablation diagnostic bloodwork routes through the on-campus specimen-collection infrastructure at Sharp Laboratory Services at 765 Medical Center Court, minimizing patient transit between the electrophysiology suite and the lab. Highest-complexity procedures include radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia with three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping and left atrial appendage closure for stroke-risk reduction in anticoagulant-intolerant patients.
