About

Board-certified pediatric cardiologist Dr. Brian Fagan MD in Encinitas practices through Rady Children's Specialists of San Diego at 477 North El Camino Real Building D, serving as Director of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Program. A Stanford University graduate who earned his medical degree at UC San Diego School of Medicine in 2001 and completed pediatric cardiology fellowship at Children's Hospital Los Angeles in 2007, the practice performs transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography with graded exercise programs coordinated through Encinitas Physical Therapy for post-procedural cardiac rehabilitation in pediatric patients. As an associate clinical professor at UC San Diego School of Medicine, the practice directs the Pediatric Cardiology Clerkship for medical students and pediatric residents. Published research on Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve informs the congenital heart disease protocols applied at this satellite location, where psychosocial support for families managing chronic cardiac diagnoses connects to providers at Bloom Psychology for anxiety and adjustment counseling. The highest-acuity interventions include cardiac catheterization with interventional hemodynamic assessment, utilizing fluoroscopy-guided balloon valvuloplasty and device closure of septal defects in patients from neonatal through adolescent age ranges.
