Dr Derick Todd

I am an experienced and highly respected consultant having worked as an NHS consultant since 2003. My clinical work is focused on treating patient with heart rhythm (arrhythmia) issues. Treatments can range from reassurance to complex ablation procedures. I hope (and expect) to be able to find a solution to your symptoms.  My research interests are in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and in the assessment of the impact of heart rhythm issues on quality of life. My recent publications have related to AF ablation, particularly with the cryoballoon. My colleagues voted me as a specialist cardiologist (electrophysiologist) that they would choose to look after their family member - see link below. This was a lovely endorsement to have from fellow specialist cardiologists. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5808995/Meet-best-heart-rhythm-surgeons-Britain.html As a keen sportsman I am sympathetic to the issues that heart rhythm problems can cause and look after many sports enthusiasts in my practice. My main goal is to have them participating in sport and enjoying it wherever possible. I am married with 3 children and enjoy golf, tennis and skiing in my spare time.
