About Me

Dr. Jonathan Gordin is an interventional cardiologist who practices in downtown Los Angeles. He specializes in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, and the catheter-based interventional management of complex coronary disease. He provides excellent care to his patients by fostering a sense understanding and open communication, and by being available when they need him. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, echocardiography and nuclear cardiology.

Dr. Gordin received his medical degree from Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He then stayed at Weill Cornell Medicine for his residency, during which he received the Distinguished Housestaff award.

After his residency, Dr. Gordin and his wife moved to Los Angeles, where he completed his fellowship in cardiology at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, serving as a chief fellow in his final year. During his training, he also earned his Master of Science degree in clinical research by participating in the Specialty Training and Advanced Research (STAR) program. His research project explored the impact of cardiovascular disorders on survival rates after liver transplantation.

Dr. Gordin competed his clinical training with a fellowship in interventional cardiology at UCLA. He earlier earned his undergraduate degree in engineering from Cornell University in New York.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Gordin is also a clinical instructor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He is originally from Maryland.

Angina
Angina Pectoris
Angina pectoris (or simply angina) is chest pain or discomfort that keeps coming back. It happens when some part of your heart doesn't get enough blood and oxygen. Angina can be a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Angioplasty
Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting
Angioplasty and stenting is a procedure to improve the blood flow in an artery or vein. It involves threading a thin tube with a balloon at its tip through the artery to the blocked portion. The balloon is inflated opening up the artery. A tiny mesh tube called a stent may be put into this area. It is left in place to help keep the artery open.

Atherectomy
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a type of thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. It can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other circulatory conditions.

Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Septal Defect Repair
Atrial Septal Defect Transcatheter Repair for Children
Atrial septal defect (ASD) transcatheter repair is a procedure to fix a hole in the atrial septum. The atrial septum is a wall that separates the right and left upper chambers in the heart (atria). This hole is called an atrial septal defect or ASD. Your child will not need an incision in the chest wall for this procedure.

Cardiac Biopsy
Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac Catheterization
In cardiac catheterization (often called cardiac cath), a very small hollow tube, or catheter, is advanced from a blood vessel in the groin or arm through the aorta into the heart. Once it is in place, several diagnostic and treatment procedures can be done using catheterization.

Cardiac Imaging
Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy
Any disorder that affects the heart muscle is called a cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy causes the heart to lose its ability to pump blood well. In some cases, the heart rhythm also becomes disturbed. This leads to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).

Cholesterol
Cholesterol in the Blood
The cholesterol in your blood comes from the foods you eat and your liver. Your liver makes all of the cholesterol your body needs. It helps your body make cell membranes, many hormones, and vitamin D.
Learn more >
Congestive Heart Failure
Heart Failure
When you have heart failure, the heart is not able to pump as well as it should. Blood and fluid may back up into the lungs (congestive heart failure), and some parts of the body don’t get enough oxygen-rich blood to work normally.
Learn more >
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Heart Disease
A person with coronary heart disease has an accumulation of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries. These deposits narrow the arteries and can decrease or block the flow of blood to the heart.

General Cardiology
Home Page - Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and rheumatic heart disease.

Heart Valve Disease
Heart Valve Diseases
Heart valves can malfunction on one of two ways: They can fail to close completely, allowing blood to flow backward, or they can become damaged, limiting blood flow. Your doctor may think you have heart valve disease if your heart sounds heard through a stethoscope are abnormal.
Learn more >
Hypertension
High Blood Pressure/Hypertension
Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls. The force is created with each heartbeat as blood is pumped from the heart into the blood vessels. Blood pressure is also affected by the size of the artery walls and how elastic they are. Each time the heart beats (contracts and relaxes), pressure is created inside the arteries. High blood pressure, or hypertension, increases the risk for coronary heart disease (heart attack) and stroke (brain attack).

Intermittent Claudication
Claudication
Claudication is pain in your thigh, calf, or buttocks that happens when you walk. It may be a symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). This is when narrowed or blocked arteries reduce the blood flow to your legs.

Invasive
Ischemia
Nuclear Cardiology
Nuclear Stress Testing
Stress Myocardial Perfusion Scan
Myocardial perfusion is an imaging test. It's also called a nuclear stress test. It is done to show how well blood flows through the heart muscle. It also shows how well the heart muscle is pumping.

Patent Foramen Ovale Repair
Patent Foramen Ovale Transcatheter Repair
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a small hole between the 2 upper chambers of the heart, the right and the left atrium. Patent foramen transcatheter repair is a procedure to fix this hole in the heart.

Rotablator
Cardiac Procedures
These procedures are used to evaluate and treat heart and blood vessel disease (cardiovascular disease or coronary artery disease). Learn about Procedures for abnormal heart rhythms; Procedures for heart disease; and Procedures for valve disease.

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.
Learn more >
Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
Transthoracic Echocardiography
Transesophageal Echocardiogram
A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) uses echocardiography to assess how well the heart works. During the procedure, a transducer (like a microphone) is lowered into the esophagus. It sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the heart tissues, where the waves bounce or "echo" off of the heart structures.

Valvuloplasty
Valvuloplasty
Valvuloplasty is a procedure done to repair a stiff heart valve. It is done using a catheter and small incisions.
