Board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and licensed to practice in California (A7495), Dr. Jigar D. Patel anchors the San Diego Heart Rhythm Center at 4060 Fourth Avenue Suite 650. Patel earned his DO from the University of North Texas Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1998, completed internal medicine residency at Loma Linda University, and finished clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at UC San Diego in 2013, with general cardiology co-management flowing through San Diego Heart and Vascular Associates. His procedural catalog covers atrial fibrillation catheter ablation, focal impulse and rotor modulation for persistent AFib, supraventricular tachycardia ablation, pacemaker and ICD implantation, biventricular cardiac resynchronization therapy, and lead extraction for infected devices. Patel consults in English and Hindi, widening intake for South Asian patients carrying the elevated atrial fibrillation and coronary disease risk profile documented in that population. Cardiac rehabilitation for his post-ablation and post-device-implant patients runs through Scripps Mercy San Diego Outpatient Physical Rehabilitation, where phase-II monitored exercise protocols restart at 2 METs and progress under telemetry supervision. The signature complex workflow is stiff left atrial syndrome developing after repeat AFib catheter ablation, where Patel balances diuretic management, pulmonary vein stenosis surveillance echo, and consideration of lung transplant referral for the most advanced physiology.
