Dr Chris Skene

I am a consultant cardiologist with over 25 years’ experience in cardiology, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders . My practice is dedicated to providing expert, personalised care , from advanced electrophysiological procedures to the management of implantable cardiac devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Whether you’re dealing with a common arrhythmia or a complex heart rhythm disorder, my focus is on improving your quality of life through cutting-edge treatments and expert clinical care.

Heart Rhythm Disturbances: Expert Diagnosis and Management With extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of complex arrhythmias, I specialise in delivering precise, patient-centred care for conditions including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, SVT, accessory pathways, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular ectopics. My approach combines deep clinical insight with the latest evidence, ensuring accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans—whether medical, interventional, or lifestyle-focused. Advanced Electrophysiology and Ablation I have a proven track record in performing electrophysiology studies and catheter ablation, using advanced mapping and ablation technologies to target arrhythmogenic substrates effectively. My focus is on achieving high success rates while minimising risks, ensuring patients benefit from durable, symptom-free outcomes. Device Implantation: Pacemakers and Defibrillators From single-chamber pacemakers to complex biventricular devices and ICDs, I provide expert implantation and follow-up. I prioritise patient education, ensuring individuals understand their device’s role in managing their condition and maintaining their quality of life. Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluations I utilise the full spectrum of diagnostic tools—Holter monitoring, stress testing, event recorders, and invasive studies—to uncover elusive arrhythmias. My methodical approach ensures no detail is overlooked, enabling confident decision-making and personalised care.
