About Dr Shamil Yusuf

Dr Shamil Yusuf is a Consultant Cardiologist (heart specialist) and Electrophysiologist, renowned for his expertise in the management of heart rhythm disturbances. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Manchester before advancing his clinical training at King's College Hospital in London. Recognised early in his career, Dr Yusuf gained admission to the Royal College of Physicians and was subsequently awarded a British Heart Foundation Research Fellowship. This prestigious opportunity allowed him to join St George's Hospital Medical School, where he conducted pivotal research into the triggers and substrates responsible for atrial fibrillation, one of the most common heart rhythm disturbances.

Following the completion of his PhD, Dr Yusuf further honed his skills in general cardiology on the South Thames, Kent, Surrey, Sussex Specialist Registrar Rotation, with appointments at both St Thomas and King's College Hospitals. In 2008, he transitioned to Glenfield Hospital, where he specialised in cardiac electrophysiology. During his two-year tenure, he developed expertise in performing catheter ablation using fluoroscopic and 3D geometry-guided techniques to treat various heart rhythm disturbances, including atrial fibrillation. Additionally, he has been involved in the implantation of pacemakers and complex pacing devices for heart failure, cementing his reputation as an innovative and patient-centred clinician.

The appointment was a bit late but when I met Dr Yusuf I was immediately impressed by his enthusiastic and friendly manner. My case was discussed at length and Dr Yusuf explained in some detail the problems that with my heart. Dr Yusuf explained that my previous NHS treatments and results provided sufficient information to progress to a different medication. This was agreed upon and a limited course of medication was started. I have arranged a further appointment with Dr Yusuf in 3 weeks time. Peter H.

They are a very clear and straightforward doctor. However if you need any follow up, or want a correct follow up letter detailing your appointment/diagnosis or need to contact their secretary I would advise seeing another doctor especially if you are paying privately or else you will be chasing for weeks with no answer and being promptly ignored. It's a real shame that the aftercare was so poor.

I visited Dr Yusuf to get some clarity on a long-term irregular heartbeat. After a simple ECG he was able to explain the cause, further investigation and possible treatment. Dr Yusuf gave a very detailed but clear explanation for which I was very grateful and reassured. I would highly recommend Dr Yusuf for anyone needing thorough and clear investigation and advice.

Dr Yusuf was excellent, clear, concise and very friendly which massively put me at ease. I cannot thank him enough for explaining the situation in great detail so I understood, even drawing diagrams which were quite impressive! It was money well spent.

Dr Yusuf was extremely reassuring and explained the workings of the heart very clearly in a manner I could understand. The treatment pathway was presented straightforwardly and this was very reassuring to me.

I recently underwent cardiac bastion surgery to remedy ectopic heartbeats. Dr Yusuf's approach is professional, patient and caring. His easy going manner puts you at ease and fills you with confidence. Having completed all appropriate tests and examinations and consulting with other experts, as well as exploring drug treatment routes, he only then advised ablation surgery. He subsequently assembled an appropriate team to conduct the surgery. At all times I felt confident in his care.
