Specialist Interests
Percutaneous coronary intervention
I have performed over 2000 PCI procedures in the elective and emergency setting. I was heavily involved in leading the development of the interventional service at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and contribute to the service at the Royal Brompton Hospital. I am proficient in the important interventional techniques, such as pressure wires. I developed the daycase radial pathway at the Royal Brompton and the majority of my procedures are performed by this approach.
Device therapy (pacemakers, ICDs and CRT)
I set up a comprehensive device service at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. I introduced daycase pacemaker (and ICD) implantation there. I also set up the pacemaker follow-up service.
I have performed several thousand device implants of all kinds.
Syncope
I am the lead for syncope at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. I have long experience on reporting tilt tests (for the diagnosis of vasovagal syncope and POTS) and lead on the service at the hospital. I also have extensive experience in the use of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) for the diagnosis of these symptoms.
