About me
Dr Makan qualified from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in 1998 and trained in Cardiology in London, including 3 years as a Fellow in complex devices and heart failure at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals. He developed a sub-specialist interest in pacemaker, defibrillator and biventricular pacemaker implantation and is a certified cardiac device specialist (CCDS) with the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners, one of only 175 Cardiologists in Europe. He is experienced in dealing with patients with complex heart failure and arrhythmias, having been privileged to work in the cardiac transplant team at Harefield Hospital. He also has an interest in coronary artery disease and has performed over 1000 coronary angiograms.
Dr Makan joined Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust in December 2011 and has since set up a brand new complex cardiac device service for Shropshire. He was appointed Clinical Director of Cardiology at the Trust in 2013.
