About

I am a Community General Cardiologist with extensive experience and a holistic approach to the assessment and management of patients with cardio-vascular disease. My practice involves both an office setting (outpatient consultation, 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, electrocardiography and cardiac rehabilitation post cardiac surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention as well as heart failure ), and hospital setting (inpatient consultation, echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, cardioversion, permanent pacemaker and loop recorder, pacemaker interrogation, tilt table testing, stress testing, and Holter monitoring).

Clinical Interests

Initial assessment of general cardiac conditions (arrhythmia, valvular diseases, cardiomyopathies, coronary disease) and non invasive cardiology investigations (indication and interpretation) .

Also I have a special interest in clinical assessment and investigation of patients with undiagnosed dyspnea and echocardiography (including transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, contrast echocardiography).

I partner with Cardiac Sciences as an Associate Medical Lead, Brandon Region, Noninvasive Cardiac Testing, Shared Health Diagnostic Services.
