Dr. Pier D. Lambiase, BA (Oxon), BM BCh, PhD, FRCP, FHRS

Pier D. Lambiase, BA (Oxon), BM BCh, PhD, FRCP, FHRS, is a cardiac electrophysiologist specialising in inherited arrhythmia based at UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science and Barts Heart Centre, Barts Health NHS Trust in London, United Kingdom, recognised internationally for work in cardiac electrophysiology and inherited arrhythmia syndromes. He is appointed as Professor of Cardiology and Consultant Cardiologist in Electrophysiology.

The research and professional emphasis of Dr. Pier Lambiase falls on catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia; brugada syndrome and long QT syndrome; and risk stratification for sudden cardiac death. He is a recipient of the Young Investigator Award.

Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose and treat conditions of the heart and blood vessels. After a medical degree they complete general medical training, then several further years in cardiology and often a subspecialty fellowship. Dr. Pier Lambiase works in cardiac electrophysiology and inherited arrhythmia syndromes, which means that referrals tend to involve this area specifically.

How Cardiac Electrophysiology And Inherited Arrhythmia Shapes Heart Care

Cardiac electrophysiology deals with the heart’s electrical wiring rather than its plumbing. When the rhythm becomes too fast, too slow or disorganised, specialists map the electrical activity inside the heart with catheters and can destroy the small area responsible using heat or extreme cold, a procedure called ablation. The same specialists implant pacemakers and defibrillators. Many arrhythmias that once required lifelong medication can now be cured outright, and ablation has become a first line option rather than a last resort for several of them.
