I am a cardiologist (MD, PhD) and also provide general practice consultations. In my daily work at Meilahti Hospital, I treat a wide range of both acute and chronic complex cardiac conditions. My main area of expertise is the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias, but I evaluate and treat all types of heart symptoms and conditions.
Other common reasons to seek care are concern about one's own heart health as well as the management of other cardiovascular risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight, or diabetes.
Due to my background in competitive sports, I have a deep understanding of athletes' specific medical needs, along with extensive experience in athletic health check-ups and managing cardiac issues in athletes.
Maintaining high professional standards is paramount to me. I actively stay up to date with medical literature and the latest research, striving to base my clinical decisions on medical evidence and best practices.
A cardiac ultrasound ('echocardiogram') can be performed directly during your appointment. Further cardiac testing (such as Holter monitoring, exercise stress testing or additional cardiac imaging) can be scheduled as needed. Please note that additional tests are charged separately.
