Dr Julia Baron
Consultant Cardiologist
BMedSci (Hons) BMBS (Hons) MD FRC
I have been a Consultant in Adult Cardiology since 2004. Originally training in general adult and interventional cardiology, I am also an experienced member of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) team.
I offer a holistic assessment of people presenting with a variety of cardiac symptoms and diagnoses.
This could include chest pain, including angina and heart attacks, palpitations, arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation (AF), heart valve disease including aortic and mitral disease, breathlessness, heart failure and hypertension (high blood pressure) assessments for DVLA and CAA.
After full assessment of the symptoms and background history, an ECG and examination will be done. Further tests are arranged and reviewed promptly as required, and a treatment plan will be discussed and commenced.
I have almost 20 years of experience as a Consultant in NHS and private settings, Since 2015, I have carried out around 50 TAVI procedures a year.
