Make an enquiry View availability

I am interested in the management of patients with all cardiological conditions but especially the investigation and management of palpitation, cardiac syncope (collapses) and heart rhythm disorders.

I regularly advise patients in implantation and follow up, with implanted devices including pacemakers, defibrillators (ICD) including sub-cutaneous defibrillators (S-ICD) and implantable loop recorders for close monitoring of heart rhythms.

I also welcome referrals for patients considering implantation of Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT-D or CRT-P) devices and work closely with colleagues considering implantation of these devices for their patients.

I have specific interests in atrial fibrillation, remote management of cardiac devices and electronic health.
