About
Highly experienced Senior Cardiac Physiologist with a comprehensive background spanning invasive cardiology, non-invasive diagnostics, and respiratory physiology. Currently transitioning to a flexible, semi-retired practice with a primary focus on independent Holter analysis. Brings an extensive clinical history—ranging from Cath Lab haemodynamic monitoring to respiratory function testing—offering a superior depth of knowledge for ambulatory reporting.
Rather than simply flagging arrhythmias, reports are interpreted with a holistic understanding of patient comorbidities, clinical presentation, and procedural history.
