Atrial Fibrillation - Cardiac Physiologists
A cardiac physiologist has undergone a minimum of 5 years training in all aspects of measuring the function of the heart and using and maintaining the equipment used to measure heart function. Their skills are as diverse as recording an ECG or performing an ultrasound of the heart to setting up and analysing the output from the most complex cardiac mapping systems. The London AF centre has a team of cardiac physiologists who have a special interest in abnormal heart rhythms and the equipment used to record, diagnose and treat them. Because the London AF centre has a high volume of patients it means that they are familiar with using the most innovative and complicated equipment for managing cardiac arrhythmia.
Our team of cardiac physiologists at the London Bridge Hospital is lead by Philip Luce.
