Oliver Segal
Dr Oliver Segal is an Electrophysiologist from Barts Heart Centre, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital (now the largest cardiac centre in Europe) - he specialises in heart rhythm problems, seeing patients with palpitations including atrial fibrillation, SVT, palpitations & irregular heart beats and black-outs. He is an expert in performing catheter ablation for all types of arrhythmia, implanting pacemakers, defibrillators and bi-ventricular devices. He also implants left atrial appendage occlusion devices. Dr Segal sees patients at the Harley Street Clinic.
Experience
A highly qualified consultant, Dr Segal has over 15 years of experience in his field of expertise. He has performed an extensive range of procedures including over 2000 ablations and more than 1000 device implant procedures. He was appointed a Consultant Cardiologist & Electrophysiologist at The Heart Hospital, UCLH in 2008 and moved to the Barts Heart Centre, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in April 2015 , which has the largest Arrhythmia Centre in the Europe. He trained at the London Chest, St. Bartholomew’s, St. Mary’s and St. George’s Hospitals in London as well as completing a Fellowship at the world-renowned Electrophysiology Unit in London, Ontario in 2007 with Prof. George Klein. Dr Segal won first prize for his Doctorate research on ventricular tachycardia at the Heart Rhythm Society in San Francisco in 2004. He was appointed a Fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society in 2012 and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 2013.
Since his appointment he has been one of the UK’s leading consultants, pioneering the use of the laser balloon for AF ablation and setting up the left atrial appendage occlusion device programme at UCLH for patients with AF who are intolerant of anticoagulants. He sits on the Heart Rhythm UK exam setting committee and is a director of a number of courses for trainee doctors and allied professionals.
Harley Street Clinic
Dr Segal sees outpatients in his consulting rooms at The Harley Street Clinic Diagnostic Centre. There is an extensive range of cardiac investigations available within the same building including echocardiograms, 24 hour ECGs, exercise testing, 24 hour blood pressure monitor fittings and pacemaker checks which can usually be undertaken immediately before or after the consultation. Dr Segal also performs Reveal Linq device insertion at the Diagnostic Centre, meaning hospital admission isn't required. Private patients who require hospital admission for investigations and treatments are admitted to The Harley Street Clinic, but Dr Segal also has admitting rights at Bupa Cromwell Hospital, London, St. Anthony’s Hospital in Cheam and BMI London Independent Hospital in Stepney.
