Palpitations are the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or skipping a beat. While they can be harmless and triggered by stress, caffeine, or lack of sleep, they may also be a sign of an underlying heart rhythm issue, especially if they occur frequently or are accompanied by symptoms like dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort.

Syncope, commonly known as fainting, is a sudden temporary loss of consciousness usually caused by a drop in blood flow to the brain. While often harmless, it can sometimes signal an underlying heart issue such as an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) or low blood pressure. At Dr Chan’s private cardiology clinic in Surrey, we offer thorough assessments to identify the cause of fainting episodes and provide tailored treatment plans. If you've experienced unexplained fainting, dizziness, or blackouts, book a consultation with a trusted private cardiologist in Surrey for expert diagnosis and peace of mind.

A cardiac MRI is a safe, non-invasive scan that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of your heart. It helps doctors assess heart structure, function, and blood flow with exceptional clarity. You may be referred for a cardiac MRI if you're experiencing symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations, or if you have known or suspected heart disease, such as cardiomyopathy, heart valve problems, or previous heart attacks. It’s especially useful when other tests like an echocardiogram or ECG don’t provide enough information. A cardiac MRI provides a clearer picture of your heart, helping your cardiologist make the most accurate diagnosis and plan the best treatment for you.

Pacemaker insertion is a common and effective procedure used to treat slow or irregular heart rhythms. A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin, typically near the collarbone, that helps regulate the heartbeat by sending electrical impulses to the heart. It can significantly improve symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and fainting caused by abnormal rhythms. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually performed under local anesthesia. If you're experiencing symptoms of a slow heartbeat, a consultation with a cardiologist can determine whether a pacemaker is the right solution for you.

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a life-saving device used to prevent sudden cardiac arrest in patients at risk of dangerous heart rhythms, such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. ICDs are commonly recommended for patients with a history of serious arrhythmias or weakened heart function.
