Professor André Ng

Professor Ng trained in Glasgow where he obtained his medical degree and subsequently PhD. He moved to Birmingham as clinical lecturer where he completed his clinical training. He was appointed as Senior Lecturer in Cardiology at the University of Leicester in 2002 and Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at the University Hospitals of Leicester and was awarded Personal Chair of Cardiac Electrophysiology in 2013. He is currently Head of Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Leicester and Preisdent of the British Cardiovascular Society.

Professor Ng is an expert in the management of cardiac arrhythmias especially in catheter ablation and the use of mapping systems in such procedures. He has played a key role in the establishment of an active ablation programme for atrial fibrillation since 2002 at Glenfield Hospital with excellent clinical results. He also specialises in device implantation including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) devices.

Professor Ng is also Director of pan-European training programmes on advanced three-dimensional mapping systems and arrhythmia ablation. He is consultant to a several pharmaceutical and medical device companies and acts as proctor in novel catheter ablation technologies internationally. He pioneered the use of a new robotic catheter manipulation system and applied it in "world's first" treatment of patients with heart rhythm disturbances as well as "UK first" treatment of numerous cutting-edge innovations in mapping systems and catheter ablation.
