Dr. Palash Barman is a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist with extensive expertise in managing complex cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac device implantations. Currently practising full-time in the NHS at the prestigious Bristol Heart Institute, Dr. Barman specialises in treating conditions such as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial fibrillation (AF), and ventricular tachycardia through catheter ablation using cryo or radiofrequency energy. His experience also extends to implanting advanced cardiac devices, including pacemakers, defibrillators such as the trasnvenous, sub-sutaneous or the extra vascular ICD, conduction system pacing (CSP), and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices (CRT-P/D).
Dr. Barman has extensive experience in ablations and device procedures to date, reflecting his expertise and precision in electrophysiology with excellent outcomes and safety. In addition to his clinical work, he also participates in multi-disciplinary meetings, journal clubs and national and international conferences.
He holds an honorary senior clinical lectureship with the University of Bristol, where he completed his PhD Fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology, funded by the British Heart Foundation. His contributions to the field of electrophysiology make him a leader in the investigation and management of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as in the implantation and extraction of cardiac devices.

Very clear, friendly and professional. Successful ablation - has made a great difference to my quality of life (especially cycling!)
This was the follow up having had a heart pacemaker fitted on 12 December 2025. All the test results indicate the implant is working well and I have had no further incidents of the previous problems. Dr Barman explained further technical aspects of the device regarding the operation of the device during the periods of atrial fibrillation. He is willing and able to give reassurance when a patient is concerned about any aspects of the procedure that has been performed.
Having had experience with several Cardiologists in the past, I was looking for someone who has the specialism in the electrical pulse activation within the heart. From his CV compared with the others, he appeared to me to be the best of the choices on offer in Bristol. Having made that selection I have no hesitation in confirming that he quickly identified the problem with my heart and recommended that I have a two lead Pacemaker fitted. Following his recommendation in just over a week the operation took place. He has a very friendly manner and took time to explain all aspects of the procedure he intended to follow and the risk factors involved. He appears as a person who is calm and reassuring and I was convinced he is totally reliable and someone I could trust.
What a lovely consultant. Very reassuring and easy to talk to.
A pleasant man in whom one feels total confidence. He arranged ecg test immediately to re-assure the patient and a follow up ultrasound heart scan is promised
Very bright well informed doctor who took the time to clearly explain his diagnoses and answer my endless questions. Excellent manner and good sense of humour.
Dr Barman explains everything clearly and is ver reassuring Hi manner is warm and supportive and it’s always a pleasure to have a consultation with him Many thanks
