About Dr Syed Ahsan

Consultant cardiologist Dr Ahsan is based at St Bartholomew's Hospital where he is also the training lead for the heart rhythm unit at Barts Health Centre. He also sees patients at North Middlesex University Hospital and was responsible for implementing the arrhythmia service there.

Dr Ahsan takes pride in putting his patients first and conducts thorough assessments, fully informing his patients of their treatment options. He treats a range of cardiac symptoms, such as blackouts, chest pains, dizziness, and high blood pressure. He also uses the latest technology available to perform both basic and complex catheter ablation treatments for all arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation). In addition, Dr Ahsan specialises in cardiac device implantation including pacemaker, defibrillator, and cardiac resynchronisation therapy.

Dr Ahsan gained his medical qualification from Guy's, King's, and St Thomas' Medical School before undertaking his specialist cardiology training and completing a fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac devices at the Heart Hospital. He also earned an MD from University College London, where his research investigating techniques to improve outcomes in patients with cardiac rhythm devices earned him the Royal Society of Medicine National Prize. He remains active in research and is currently investigating novel methods for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

Just excellent - it can be quite frightening finding out your heart doesn't work properly but Dr. Ahsan took away the fear and explained very clearly how the problem could be fixed and then he fixed it.

I first met Dr Ahsan in April 2025 having had some very upsetting and troubling irregular heart rhythm episodes. I subsequently went through all the necessary tests and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was diagnosed. Throughout the whole process Dr Ahsan was a fantastic, empathetic communicator providing me with clear and concise treatment options. After managing the condition with medication for 12 months and continually communicating with Dr Ahsan I underwent the pulsed field ablation proceedure in April 2026. I was extremely anxious on the day of the surgery and Dr Ahsan was incredibly patient and supportive before and after the surgery. -As was the anaesthetist Dr James O Brien. As well as being such a kind and supportive human being who clearly cares deeply about his patients it is obvious that Dr Ahsan is a highly skilled technical expert in his fields of surgery. I have also only positive things to say about the whole team at the Cromwell hospital of wonderful nurses and staff. For me this was a fairly traumatic event which Dr Ahsan ensured went very smoothly and so far with a good outcome. I cannot thank him enough.

At our first meeting Dr Ahsan impressed me with his whole approach. His manner was welcoming and understanding. His technical/medical information was presented in a very straightforward and easy to understand manner. At the end I had no hesitation in asking him to undertake the procedure I needed. On the day of the procedure, once again, his manner and approach was reassuring throughout and his continuing advice and support has been outstanding.

I felt Dr Ahsan listened very carefully to what I was saying, explained clearly what the issues might be, did not rush to judgement and set out, again very clearly, the courses of action available to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
