Expert Care for Heart Rhythm Conditions
Having a heart rhythm problem can be something you have been living with without noticing. It also encompasses everything from nuisance symptoms, impaired quality of life and more risky problems.
My work is to help patients to understand the issues and take them through potential solutions.
I am a specialist in all aspects of heart rhythm care, from benign problems through to implanting pacemakers and fixing heart rhythm problems with high tech ablation techniques.
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.
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.
