Introduction

I welcome referrals from cardiologists for focused electrophysiology opinions, rhythm-management decisions and catheter ablation assessment. The aim is a practical, collaborative recommendation for the specific arrhythmia question.

Focused EP input. Wider cardiology care remains with you unless you request otherwise.

Useful referral scenarios from general cardiology

  • Symptomatic AF despite beta-blocker or anti-arrhythmic treatment: is an ablation assessment appropriate?
  • AF recurrence after cardioversion or a previous ablation: what is the best rhythm-control strategy now?
  • Atrial flutter or recurrent SVT: is electrophysiology study and ablation the right next step?
  • Symptomatic ectopy with impaired LV function or a high burden: does this need electrophysiology input?
  • Suspected pre-excitation or a difficult tachycardia ECG: what does the tracing show and what should follow?
  • Device-indication uncertainty or ventricular arrhythmia: would focused electrophysiology assessment help?

What to send

A concise clinical question, relevant ECGs or rhythm recordings, medication, echo or imaging reports, clinic correspondence and any previous procedure report will help focus the opinion. For an ECG or arrhythmia question before formal referral, remote advice is also available.
