About Dr Patrick Heck

Dr Patrick Heck is a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist with extensive expertise in the diagnosis and management of cardiac rhythm disorders. He obtained his medical degree (BM BCh) in 2000 following undergraduate training at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, before undertaking specialist training in cardiology.

Alongside his clinical training, Dr Heck pursued academic research and was awarded a Doctor of Medicine (DM) degree from the University of Oxford in 2010. He subsequently completed an advanced international fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology in Melbourne, Australia.

Dr Heck was appointed Consultant Cardiologist at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in 2012 and went on to become Clinical Lead for Cardiac Rhythm Management in 2016. He currently practices within the NHS at Royal Papworth Hospital and also sees patients privately at Nuffield Cambridge Hospital and the Cambridge Heart Clinic.

His clinical practice encompasses all aspects of cardiac arrhythmia care, including the assessment and treatment of palpitations, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias, and ventricular arrhythmias. He also has particular expertise in the investigation of syncope, dizziness, and blackouts, as well as the evaluation of sudden cardiac death in inherited cardiac conditions, including family screening and risk assessment.

I was pleased to see Dr Heck as a follow up from my last appointment 9 months ago. As always, he's a really easy person to talk to, with a great sense of humour! He takes time to be sure that I had asked all the questions I had in mind. Dr Heck is always clear in his answers & explanations & listens carefully both to myself & my husband who accompanied me.

Based on several years’ experience as a cardiac patient, I would rate Dr Heck’s professional expertise and care extremely highly. Moreover, in every interaction he has been attentive and responsive. I have received clear explanation of issues and have felt fully involved in deciding between treatment options. My most recent visits were follow-up consultations in August and November 2025.

Felt anxious about the visit but had no need to. Mr Heck is one of the nicest person I have ever met whilst dealing with my heart problem. He warmly welcomed me which put me at ease straight away. He explained things clearly and thoroughly and in detail explaining things none of the other doctors / cardiologists have done. So I have a better knowledge of exactly what is the matter with my heart. He explained the best route to take for the future and I am happy to go with his suggestion. I left the clinic feeling much happier than when I went in and not so anxious about the next step in my treatment. So I thank Dr Heck for that. Generally a very nice clinic to visit. The girls at the desk and the nurses all very lovely and welcoming.
