I have been a Consultant Cardiologist and Consultant Physician since 1994 and I am particularly interested in the diagnosis and treatment of fainting, blackouts and dizzy spells. I have also expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of viral and bacterial infections of the heart and interested in the diagnosis and treatment of palpitations (cardiac arrhythmias). I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac muscle diseases (cardiomyopathy). Further I have an interest in the diagnosis of endocrine causes of disease of the cardiovascular system particularly those as a consequence of thyroid and adrenal gland disorders. Also I have extensive experience in the management of diagnosis and pharmacological treatment of heart attacks and angina.

I perform radial(arm) and femoral (leg)coronary angiography; right heart (including lungs) cardiac catheterisation and I perform permanent pacemaker implants and removal of pacing systems including pacemaker generator changes. I also perform cardiac loop recorder implants, transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography and carry out orthostatic tilt table tests.
