Dr Shouvik Haldar

Dr Shouvik Haldar is a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, part of Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. He provides expert care for both NHS and private patients with a broad range of heart rhythm disorders and general cardiovascular conditions, combining the latest evidence with a personalised, patient-centred approach.

Dr Haldar graduated from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Medical School (King’s College London), then trained in Adelaide, South Australia before completing postgraduate medical training in Oxford. He undertook specialist cardiology training in the North West Thames Deanery, followed by advanced subspecialty training in cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac implantable electronic devices at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals. He was subsequently awarded the prestigious Miriam L. Burnett Fellowship at the University of Toronto, Canada, where he received advanced training in complex catheter ablation and device therapy under internationally renowned experts.

Appointed as a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist in 2017, Dr Haldar has developed expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardias, ventricular arrhythmias, blackouts, palpitations, inherited rhythm disorders, heart failure, and cardiac device therapy. He performs a high volume of complex catheter ablation procedures and pacemaker, defibrillator, conduction system and cardiac resynchronisation device implantation.

Alongside his clinical practice, Dr Haldar is an active clinical researcher and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College London. His research focuses on atrial fibrillation, digital health, wearable technologies, artificial intelligence, and remote cardiac monitoring, with the aim of improving earlier diagnosis, stroke prevention, and personalised care for patients with heart rhythm disorders.

He is also passionate about preventive cardiology, women's cardiovascular health, and empowering patients through education and digital innovation. He recognises that heart disease in women can often present differently and is committed to improving awareness, diagnosis, and access to evidence-based care for female patients.

Nationally, Dr Haldar is recognised for his leadership in cardiovascular education and has held senior roles within the British Cardiovascular Society, helping to shape the education and training of the next generation of cardiologists.
