He closes heart defects present from birth, such as PDA and ASD. He has a strong interest in the heart's electrical system (electrophysiology). He has done many radiofrequency ablations, which use heat to stop faulty heart rhythms. Some were complex cases using CARTO 3D mapping. He also has wide experience fitting pacing devices. These include ICDs (defibrillators) and biventricular pacemakers, which help both sides of the heart beat together.
