Curriculum Vitae
Research
Interest
Dr. Shivkumar
received his medical degree from the University of Madras, India
in 1991 and his PhD from UCLA in 2000. He completed his cardiology
fellowship training at the University of California, Los Angeles,
and upon completion of his training joined the faculty at
University of Iowa, where he also served as the Associate Director
of Cardiac Electrophysiology. In 2002, he was recruited back to
UCLA to direct the newly created UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center at
the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. His field of
specialization is interventional cardiac electrophysiology and he
heads a group at UCLA that is involved in developing innovative
techniques for the non-pharmacological management of cardiac
arrhythmias. He is an Associate Professor of Medicine and holds a
joint appointment in the Department of Radiology at UCLA. Dr.
Shivkumar is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine
in the subspecialties of Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical
Cardiac Electrophysiology. He holds memberships in several
professional organizations, including the American Heart
Association, American College of Cardiology and the Heart Rhythm
Society.
