About Dr Simon Hetherington

Dr Hetherington is an experienced Cardiologist treating patients with a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases (including coronary heart disease/angina, atrial fibrillation/arrhythmia, high blood pressure, heart failure/cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease) and an emphasis on cardiovascular prevention.
He has a particular interest in the assessment and management of ischaemic heart disease (non-invasive testing, coronary angiography, fractional flow studies, angioplasty and stenting) and prefers the transradial (wrist) approach when undertaking coronary interventions.
