Profile
Pat Phen: Consultant Cardiologist in Essex
Dr Pat Phen is a leading Consultant Cardiologist offering private treatment in Essex with the latest experience of cardiology and heart diseases, coronary angiography, echocardiography and cardiac rhythm management.
Training and experience
Dr Pat Phen (Pornpat Chandr-Ruang-Phen on the GMC register) is a Consultant Cardiologist who qualified at The United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy’s and St Thomas’ (UMDS - now GKT School of Medical Education at King’s College London) in 1991. Since then he has trained in cardiology at several prestigious London teaching hospitals including St George’s Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and The Royal Brompton Hospital.
Dr Phen has extensive experience in managing patients with all common cardiac conditions such as angina (chest pain), heart attack, heart failure, heart rhythm abnormalities (palpitations and/or blackouts) and heart valve disease. He also regularly sees patients for cardiovascular risk assessment, treatment for high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and preoperative cardiac assessment. Having trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital, he is also one of the few cardiologists in Essex with experience in congenital heart conditions.
Dr Phen was part of a team of doctors that helped to set up The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre in 2007, one of the newest and most modern heart and lung centres in the UK, where he now works in close liaison with heart surgeons and other colleagues. He also actively engages with commissioners and GP leads of the local Clinical Commissioning Groups to ensure a seamless organization of care from primary to secondary and tertiary settings.
Clinical Interests
Dr Phen has a special expertise in the implantation of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) that include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) pacemakers and defibrillators. These devices are essential in the treatment of patients with life-threatening heart rhythm disorders as well as patients with heart failure. Dr Phen also has extensive experience in the use of advanced echocardiographic imaging modalities to assess such patients, as well as patients who have coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease
Research Interests
Dr Phen’s PhD thesis was based on how lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity and physical exercise can interact and influence the health and performance of the cells that line the inside of all blood vessels (the vascular endothelium). The health of these cells is vital in determining one’s risk of heart attacks, strokes and other vascular disorders.
He has published in peer-reviewed journals and presented to international conferences on the subject. He continues this interest in his clinical practice, which is termed preventive cardiology. He has participated in numerous multicenter research trials relating to CIEDs including most recently the Europe-wide EuroCRT registry and UK-wide MPP-VARR study.
Treatments
Dr Phen is available for consultations for all types of heart complaints including the treatment of high blood pressure, or for cardiovascular risk assessment. He has expertise in performing cardiac catheterization and coronary angiogram, all types of echocardiogram including exercise or Dobutamine stress echo, transoesophageal echo, 3-D echo and strain imaging. He also performs electrical cardioversions and implants cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization (CRT) pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).
