About
Dr Riyaz Somani is a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist who has worked in cardiology since 2002. In December 2014, he was appointed as a Consultant Cardiologist at the Glenfield Hospital, Leicester. He sees private patients both at Spire Nottingham and Spire Leicester, treating adults and teenagers aged 16-17.
As well as general cardiology, as an internationally trained and highly experienced electrophysiologist, Dr Somani has special expertise in treating palpitations, heart rhythm disorders and the assessment of sudden cardiac death risk.
He performs over 200 procedures per year which include the following: Pulmonary vein isolation (AF ablation) for paroxysmal and persistent AF and VT ablation with epicardial access (using 3D mapping systems). Radiofrequency ablation for atrial flutter, atrial tachycardias and SVTs. Permanent pacemaker implantation (single and dual chamber), Loop recorder implantation, Implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) therapy, Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) for heart failure and cardioversion (internal and external). Dr Somani implanted the UKs first Micra AV leadless pacemaker and is able to offer this technology to private patients. In addition, he also has responsibilities for pacemaker interrogation and analysis, electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation, ECG monitoring, echocardiography, blood pressure assessment and treatment and exercise stress testing.
Dr Riyaz Somani was awarded a PhD from the University of Leeds in 2011 after a period of dedicated research in the field of cardiology. He has received extensive training in both general cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology at the Yorkshire Heart Centre in Leeds as well as at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada having successfully completed a two-year fellowship (Diploma). As well as providing outstanding care to his patients, he is actively involved in internationally recognised research and teaching.
