I am a consultant cardiologist and electrophysiologist at the
Bristol Heart Institute. I qualified from University College London
Medical School in 1997 and rotated through various London teaching
hospitals before returning to university in 2003 to undertake
research into the causes of abnormal heart rhythms. I was awarded a
PhD from Cambridge University in 2006. I returned to London to
sub-specialise in heart rhythm treatment at St Bartholomew's
Hospital and was appointed a consultant in 2009.
I am trained in all aspects of cardiac arrhythmia management
including catheter ablation, pacemaker/defibrillator implantation,
cardiac resynchronisation therapy and system extraction. My
specialist interest is ablation of complex arrhythmias especially
atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. I also perform
ablation in patients with congenital heart disease (GUCH) and
children alongside colleagues from the Bristol Royal Hospital for
Children.
I have written two books, Cardiology in Focus (Churchill
Livingstone, 2004) and Ready Reference: Cardiology (Elsevier 2010)
and numerous scientific papers specifically relating to the
mechanisms and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
