Heart Conditions

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart’s ability to pump blood and oxygen around the body is impaired.

A palpitation is an unpleasant awareness of your heart rhythm.  The causes of these symptoms vary from very benign conditions, right through to more serious heart conditions.

Arrhythmias are abnormalities of the heart rhythm.  These may cause symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, blackouts (syncope), shortness of breath and dizzy spells.

A significant number of people will experience a blackout in their lifetime. In a small number of cases the blackout might be caused by a serious medical cause  and patients may need specific treatment.

Blood pressure is a common term for hypertension. A normal blood pressure reading is classified as an average home BP monitoring result less than 135/85.

​

I have more than 20 years of experience in General Cardiology and have been a Consultant since 2009. I sub-specialise in arrhythmia as well as cardiac device implantation.

There are a large number of causes to shortness of breath which include: anxiety (hyperventilation), lack of physical fitness, anaemia, heart failure and high blood pressure.

Pacemakers are implanted cardiac devices designed to treat dangerous slow heart rhythms.
