CVISD Electrophysiologist Performs Sharp Chula Vista’s First Pulsed Field Ablation.
What began as a routine trip to the ER for flu-like symptoms turned into a life-changing diagnosis for one local patient — and a groundbreaking moment for heart care in the South Bay.
Abhishek Shah, MD, Cardiac Electrophysiologist with the Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego (CVISD), performed the first pulsed field ablation (PFA) at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center — a next-generation treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib) that uses electrical energy, not heat, to restore normal heart rhythm.
The procedure offers a safer, more natural approach to AFib treatment with faster recovery and improved outcomes. Following the procedure, the patient’s heart function improved significantly — a powerful reminder of how innovation and expertise can transform lives.
At CVISD, our physicians continue to lead in advanced cardiovascular technology, partnering with top hospitals like Sharp Chula Vista to bring patients across San Diego access to the latest breakthroughs in heart rhythm care.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dad has been a patient at this clinic for a few months now and is in process of getting a procedure done. He is very nervous and when I called to gather more information i was transferred at a timely manner to a very pleasant lady Blanca. She answered all the questions we had and made my dad and myself feel very at ease and comfortable. My dad can be very grumpy and when hanging up he mentioned that she was very nice. I never write reviews so this is very big for me to be doing.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
