Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist, Deputy Clinical Lead at Brugmann University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium
Specialist in Cardiology & Interventional Electrophysiology (ablation of simple and complex cardiac arrhythmias) and interrogation, implantation of pacemakers, defibrillators, cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices (CRT) and lead extraction - Trained in cardiac electrophysiology & devices in London, UK.
Cardiac electrophysiology is the subspecialty of cardiology that deals with abnormalities of the heart rhythm (electrical problems of the heart) or arrhythmias.
An electrophysiologist or EP is a cardiologist who specialises in abnormal heart rhythms that can be treated with medication (antiarrhythmics), ablation (cauterisation) by catheter, or by implantation of a pacemaker/defibrillator. Usually, the electrophysiologist has undergone several years of specific training in addition to his training as a cardiologist. You will find on this site information related to cardiovascular diseases and arrhythmias, the usual complementary tests used in cardiology with a selection of documents and practical links selected by Dr T Nguyen.
Consultations by appointment in general cardiology, arrhythmia and interrogation of pacemakers and defibrillators. Dr Nguyen also offers remote clinics by phone and video conference, only for patients who have been previously seen at Brugmann Hospital. Please enquire via the Contact page.
