Dr Qurban Hussain Khan provides specialist assessment and management for patients with heart rhythm disorders, palpitations, fainting episodes, pacemakers, ICDs, and general cardiology conditions.
His clinical focus includes cardiac electrophysiology, arrhythmia diagnosis, device follow-up, and evidence-based management of common cardiovascular symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, syncope and irregular heartbeat.
A cardiac electrophysiologist is a cardiologist with additional expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms.
You may benefit from an electrophysiology consultation if you have:
Palpitations can feel like skipped beats, fluttering, pounding, racing heartbeat or sudden bursts of fast rhythm. Many causes are benign, but some require proper assessment.
Evaluation may include clinical history, ECG review, Holter monitoring, echocardiography, exercise testing and targeted rhythm assessment.
Atrial fibrillation is a common rhythm disorder that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and recurrent hospital visits if not properly managed.
Assessment includes rhythm control options, rate control, stroke-risk assessment, anticoagulation review and discussion of further treatment where appropriate.
Supraventricular tachycardia can cause sudden episodes of rapid heartbeat, anxiety-like symptoms, dizziness, chest discomfort or breathlessness.
Patients with recurrent SVT may require ECG documentation, Holter monitoring, medication review or consideration of electrophysiology study and catheter ablation.
Fainting or unexplained blackouts can sometimes be related to abnormal heart rhythm, slow heart rate, pauses or other cardiovascular causes.
A structured assessment can help distinguish cardiac syncope from neurological, vasovagal, blood pressure-related or other causes.
An electrophysiology study is a specialised test used to diagnose the source of abnormal heart rhythms. In selected patients, catheter ablation may be used to treat rhythm problems by targeting the abnormal electrical pathway or focus.
This is commonly considered for selected cases of SVT, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmias and other documented rhythm disorders.
Patients with cardiac devices require regular follow-up to assess device function, battery status, lead performance, rhythm events and therapy delivery.
Follow-up may be needed for:
Many patients are referred after an abnormal ECG, Holter monitor, event monitor or rhythm strip.
Dr Khan provides clinical interpretation of rhythm findings in the context of the patient’s symptoms, history and overall cardiac condition.
In addition to electrophysiology, patients with chest pain, shortness of breath, hypertension, suspected coronary artery disease, previous angiography, heart failure or risk factors for heart disease may also be assessed.
Further investigations may include ECG, echocardiography, exercise testing, laboratory tests or referral for advanced cardiac evaluation where required.
Prevention is an important part of cardiac care. Patients with hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, family history of heart disease, smoking history or obesity may benefit from cardiovascular risk assessment and long-term prevention planning.
