Cardiology Services

Our approach to cardiology services

When you have a heart condition, it can affect all aspects of your life. 

At UCI Health, our cardiology specialists take the time to get to know you and to understand your specific needs and challenges. 

With you at the center, they’ll bring together a team of experts to help you get back to health. 

Mary & Steve Wen Cardiovascular Division

Our UCI Health cardiology team, part of the faculty of the Mary & Steve Wen Cardiovascular Division of the UC Irvine School of Medicine, takes a highly specialized approach to delivering care — all driven by its expertise, compassion and innovation.

Our cardiologists each specialize in specific areas of heart care, from general cardiology and heart surgery to heart failure and arrhythmia care. 

This approach ensures that you receive the latest, most effective treatments. And this high level of expertise is one reason why UCI Health is consistently recognized as a leader in heart care from:

• The American Heart Association
• The American College of Cardiology
• The Joint Commission 

Your general cardiologist or primary care physician can help you find the right cardiac specialist for your specific needs. Our goal is to get you in to see a cardiologist within three to five business days.

Tsai Ya Au Heart & Vascular Pavilion

The Tsai Ya Au Heart & Vascular Pavilion, part of UCI Health, is home to California's leading heart programs and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions of the heart and vascular system. 

Focus on your quality of life

Your cardiologist will serve as your partner in heart health, focusing on your quality of life. They’ll take the time to get to know you, your lifestyle and your preferences. 

They can also connect you to additional support services, such as:

• Dietitians who provide nutrition counseling
• Exercise physiologists who can help you get more active
• Cardiac rehab specialists who help you get back on track after heart surgery, heart attack or other major heart event
• A heart health coaching program to provide education and support to improve your heart health
• A diabetes prevention program, a lifestyle change program to help prevent type 2 diabetes
• Classes and a support group to help maintain your quality of life, including the Living Well with Heart Failure series and the Advanced Heart Failure & VAD Support Group
