The name 'complex coronary intervention' sounds intimidating, but this blocked coronary artery procedure has advanced from traditional, high-risk open-heart surgery. It's transformed from a long recovery, to an effective operation where patients can go home on the same day and get back to normal life within a week. Here to offer his expertise in what's involved in complex coronary intervention is leading consultant cardiologist in London, Dr Ahmed Elghamaz.

Solving heart rhythm issues with pacemakers

In his latest online article, Mr Mohamed Al-Obaidi gives us his insights into pacemaker. The human heart, a marvel of natural engineering, relies on an intricate electrical conduction system to maintain its rhythm and functionality. This system includes a natural pacemaker and a network of "wiring" that enables synchronised heartbeats. However, like any complex electrical system, problems can arise over time, leading to a range of cardiac issues. In such cases, the installation of a pacemaker becomes a crucial intervention to address these "wiring" faults and restore the heart's proper rhythm and function.

How an active lifestyle can reduce the risk of developing AF

Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been proven by leading cardiology researchers to affect those who are less active compared to those who are. Professor Dhiraj Gupta, a leading cardiology and electrophysiologist, tells us all about his recent findings into AF treatment and reversal and those by researchers from the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan, presented at the European Cardiology Congress (ECC) in August.

Professor Michael Mahmoudi, a highly-esteemed consultant cardiologist, explains all about stents, including what they're compose of, how they are inserted, how long they last for, and how patients are affected.

Screen for AF with your smartwatch or smartphone

Researchers have recognised the potential of smartphone and smartwatches for pinpointing possibly live-saving information that can assist in diagnosing heart rhythm abnormalities like atrial fibrillation (AF). Highly-respected cardiologist Professor Dhiraj Gupta, who is also an advisor on AF to the British Heart Foundation (BHF), speaks to Top Doctors all about Preventicus Heartbeats, the app recently presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress and other useful apps and tech equipment you can use to potentially detect AF – as well as exactly what AF is - in this informative article.
