About Me

Dr. Carlos Macias is a cardiologist who practices in Porter Ranch and Santa Clarita. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease and clinical cardiac electrophysiology, and his clinic interests include ablation, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, electrophysiology, implantable defibrillators and pacemakers.

Dr. Macias received his medical degree from the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California in Mexico. He then completed his internship and residency in internal medicine, followed by a fellowship in cardiovascular disease at the University of New Mexico Medical Center. He moved to the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA for an additional fellowship in clinical cardiac electrophysiology.

Dr. Macias is happy to bring the specialized medicine of the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center to the Northwest Valley.

Ablation (Catheter)
Catheter Ablation
An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. If you have an arrhythmia, your healthcare provider may recommend a procedure called catheter ablation. This procedure guides a wire into your heart to destroy small areas of heart tissue that may be causing your abnormal heartbeat.

Ablation (Percutaneous Transesophageal Ablation)
Arrhythmia
Arrhythmias
An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm that can cause problems with the contractions of your heart chambers. An arrhythmia occurs when there is a problem with the electrical system that is supposed to regulate a steady heartbeat. With an impaired electrical system, your heart may beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.

Atrial Fibrillation
Electrophysiology
Electrophysiological Studies
An electrophysiological study (EP study) is a test used to evaluate your heart's electrical system and to evaluate for abnormal heart rhythms.

Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
iving with a pacemaker or ICD requires special instructions and care.

Pacemaker
Overview of Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin that sends electrical signals to start or regulate a slow heartbeat. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) looks similar to a pacemaker, though slightly larger. The ICD can send a low-energy shock that resets an abnormal heartbeat back to a normal. It can also send a high-energy shock if an arrhythmia becomes so severe that the heart can't pump at all.

Syncope
A Serious Look at Fainting
Fainting (syncope) is a brief loss of consciousness. This leads to falling down or needing to lie down, followed by a quick recovery. Fainting by itself is not a problem, but it could be a sign of a serious health condition.
