Dr Julian Jarman

I am a cardiologist and electrophysiologist specialising in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disturbances, based at the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea. I see patients for palpitations and dizzy spells, as well as other possible cardiac symptoms such as breathlessness or chest pains. I manage patients with a wide array of fast and slow heart rhythm disturbances, and those with heart failure requiring implantable device therapy. I have a particular interest in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). I perform a wide range of interventional procedures, specialising in complex ablation therapy for all cardiac arrhythmias, and particularly AF ablation. I also implant pacemakers, defibrillators (ICDs) and biventricular pacemakers to provide cardiac resynchronisation therapy for heart failure. I studied medicine at Cambridge University (MBBS, MA), St Mary’s Hospital at Imperial College London, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. My specialist fellowship training in interventional cardiac electrophysiology and complex pacing was undertaken at several leading London teaching hospitals. I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP) and have certification examinations in both Invasive Cardiac Electrophysiology and Cardiac Pacing & ICDs from the European Heart Rhythm Association. During my post-graduate doctorate of medicine (MD) at the National Heart & Lung Institute I developed novel techniques for ablation of atrial fibrillation using noncontact mapping. I have a busy NHS and private clinical practice in interventional cardiac electrophysiology, at the Royal Brompton Hospital, and I am currently Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer in Clinical Cardiology at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London, and teach advanced interventional techniques to visiting foreign fellows and consultants.
