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.

Explanation

I went to see Dr Ahsan due to worrying symptoms shortly after my COVID vaccination booster. He not only listened sympathetically but took my concerns seriously, and confirmed them as it turned out I had Pericarditis. I underwent detailed tests and throughout my 15 months' recovery journey, he was completely professional, reassuring and thorough. Not only was he supportive but also taking an interest in me as a person. His excellent advice and care (even answering occasional email questions) made all the difference and helped me recover. I will continue to see Dr Ahsan annually to monitor progress, he is very approachable and I highly recommend him to anyone who has heart issues of any kind.

I would wholeheartedly (no pun intended) recommend Dr Ahsan. In all our consultations and at the hospital, he thoroughly explained every stage of treatment. After my ablation I was given a detailed debrief of what it involved. I am delighted at the outcome of my procedure. During the whole of his care I felt relaxed and confident of what was happening. This reassurance made the mental journey of facing a heart procedure less stressful.

Explanation

Dr Ahsan helped me recover from a heart infection caused by covid. I was unable to get a proper diagnosis from other cardiologists, my unusual symptoms led my case to be dismissed, but Dr Ahsan was attentive to my needs and his investigation led to a proper diagnosis and treatment. He was very supportive throughout my long recovery journey (of more than three years), he reassessed my case as needed and lead me to full recovery. I feel really grateful that he was my doctor and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Explanation

My husband and I (who are both health care professionals) saw (on 21/11/23) Dr Syed Ahsan after I had an Echogram and was referred by Natalie’s ( the cardiac physiologist ). at the Cavell Hospital. I had shortness of breath and had pericardial effusion. Dr Ahsan reviewed the images of my CT scan and the Echocardiogram and admitted me to the Cromwell Hospital. That very night the fluid around my heart was drained ( by Dr Ahsan and his Team ) and I immediately had relief and began treatment for my Lower Respiratory Tract infection ( Community acquired Pneumonia) I spent 7 nights at the Cromwell and each evening Dr Ahsan would visit and updated me on my progress. From the beginning everything was explained. Thankfully I have now made a complete recovery. Dr Ahsan is now our preferred Cardiologist and we will recommend him to our friends and colleagues for his knowledge,care and commitment to patient care.
