Dr David Lefroy

Dr David Lefroy is a Consultant Cardiologist at Hammersmith Hospital. His appointment has been continuous and full time from 1997 to the present. His training and clinical practice has encompassed all aspects of cardiology in adult patients, focusing more on the management of cardiac arrhythmias in recent years. He is experienced in the use of catheter ablation and implanted cardiac pacemaker/defibrillators to treat heart rhythm disordered and currently continues a busy clinical practice in these areas.
