Specialist Care for Heart Rhythm Conditions
You might not even be aware you have a heart rhythm problem, but these conditions can affect you in many ways - from occasional discomfort to more serious health concerns.
I am here to help you make sense of your symptoms and explore the best treatment options for you. With expertise in all areas of heart rhythm care, I provide personalised support, from managing minor irregularities to performing sophisticated procedures like pacemaker fitting and catheter ablation.
Services
I am Dr Chris Skene, Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist based in Manchester. I run a clinic at the Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle for initial assessment and testing. Appointments are available to self pay patients and those with health insurance.
Consultation fees:
For self-paying patients:
new patient appointments cost £270, including an ECG.
follow up appointments cost £200.
For insured patients, costs depend on your insurance company and any excesses in your policy.
The Alexandra Hospital
The Alexandra Hospital is a state-of-the-art private hospital with a full range of modern equipment and highly trained staff.
Pacemakers and defibrillators
I am a certified specialist in pacemaker and defibrillator ICD implant and follow up via the European Heart Rhythm Association accreditation program.
I work in the Manchester NHS Foundation Trust and Stockport NHS Trust, meaning I have access to their systems and can act as a go-between when care is spread between hospitals and healthcare systems.
Cardiac ablations, electrophysiology testing and cardioversions
The beauty of heart rhythm problems is that there are often highly effective procedures which can cure the symptoms.
When we can identify a problem which may be treated with a cardiac procedure, for example catheter ablation, pulsed field ablation, atrial fibrillation ablation, SVT ablation; the team at the Alexandra Hospital work together to make sure your treatment is streamlined, safe and effective. We have access to all the latest technology and tools.
