I treat all forms of adult heart disease and work as an interventional cardiologist carrying out cardiac catheterization and coronary angioplasty. I have particular skills in the assessment of patients suffering with angina and acute coronary syndromes. I also specialize in the care of heart failure and heart rhythm abnormalities.
I have undertaken around 10,000 cardiac catheterizations and about 2,000 coronary angioplasties including out of hours primary angioplasties for ST elevation acute myocardial infarctions. I have implanted about 1500 permanent pacemakers both single and dual chamber systems.
In the NHS I work for the Royal Free Group - over the last few years my focus has been on medical education. I am an Honorary Clinical Associate Professor at University College London and am the lead for organising and delivering the undergraduate cardiology programme at Barnet Hospital.
