Virtual consultations:
I am a Consultant Cardiologist specialising in Cardiac Electrophysiology and cardiac devices. My areas of interest include an integrated approach to managing heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmia – electrophysiology), the management of atrial fibrillation, the role of imaging in electrophysiology and advanced pacing.
While studying at Bristol Medical School, I developed a strong interest in cardiovascular medicine, obtaining merits in the Molecular and Cellular Basis of Medicine and Cardiovascular Medicine. I chose to pursue my medical electives within Cardiology and successfully secured a placement under Professor Steve Schwartz at the University of Washington (I‑Lab). My work there included atherosclerotic plaque classification and identification of fibrous cap thickness measurements for a research associate. Following medical school, I completed my initial junior doctor training at the Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust in Exeter, rotating through multiple medical specialties and obtaining Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) before moving to London to pursue research focused on Cardiac MRI and Electrophysiology.
At King’s College London, during the establishment of the Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences Division, I worked alongside leading MRI physicists, software architects, clinical scientists, cardiologists and electrophysiologists. I contributed to projects including robotic catheter ablation, artificial intelligence decision‑support tools for CMR analysis, and hybrid echo‑fluoroscopy overlay imaging. This period was formative in shaping my clinical and academic direction and enabled me to establish national and international collaborations.
My clinical Electrophysiology and Cardiology training began at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust during my clinical research period and continued in the West Midlands, with further enhancement through observerships in Leipzig (Germany) and Lisbon (Portugal). I also developed a specialist interest in the autonomic nervous system and arrhythmias during my visit to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I maintain strong links with evolving technology and am experienced with Abbott Precision, Biosense Webster CARTO and Boston Scientific cardiac rhythm mapping systems. I regularly perform cryoablation for atrial fibrillation.
Alongside my clinical practice, I continue my research as an Honorary Senior Lecturer at King’s College London, progressing work initiated over a decade ago. I currently co‑supervise higher degree candidates in Multi‑Modality Image Overlay and Robotic‑Assisted Procedures. I strongly believe in the integration of multi‑modality imaging before and during procedures, including the use of intra‑cardiac echocardiography (ICE) where appropriate. I also have an interest in preventative cardiology and discuss lifestyle modification, including diet, exercise and mindful body postures, to improve arrhythmia outcomes and long‑term cardiovascular health.
Outside clinical practice, I am a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (FESC) and the American College of Cardiology (FACC). I served as a Committee Board Member of the Heart Rhythm Society (USA) from 2021 to 2023 and as an External Committee Member for the Air Pollution Sub‑Committee Group of the World Heart Federation from 2021 to 2022.
