With innovation, comes cure

What it is that we do

The Cape Town AF Centre comprises a team of dedicated healthcare professionals (based at Mediclinic Panorama), who have international recognition in the field of research, diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and all other heart arrhythmias. By establishing a pedigree in both Atrial Fibrillation management and research we are able to offer “cutting-edge” treatments for Atrial Fibrillation and other rhythm disorders and make management decisions based on opinions informed by the latest scientific data. We aim to ensure that we have a partnership with our patients so that decisions about management are taken together.

Our team

Cape Town AF Centre is Different

At the Cape Town AF Centre we believe in the importance of a team approach. The team is built around heart specialists who are both colleagues and friends. We share our experience, consult with each other and will often operate together. Patients are therefore never without help even if their own consultant is away for example on holiday. Our cardiologists have a vast experience between them.
