Professor Richard Schilling established and leads the arrhythmia research program at St Bartholomew’s hospital. The department was one of the first centres to carry out randomised clinical trials investigating interventional treatment of cardiac arrhythmia and has developed and validated techniques for using novel technological applications like 3D image integration into cardiac mapping systems for the treatment of complex arrhythmia. These innovations have reduced radiation exposure and improved success rates for procedures that cure arrhythmia.
He has a busy clinical practice specialising in interventional ablation for complex arrhythmia like atrial fibrillation, VT and VF.
