Dr Lance Forbat is a highly experienced Consultant Cardiologist seeing private patients at Litfield House Medical Centre. With a career spanning over three decades, Dr Forbat has extensive expertise in both the NHS and private sectors, playing pivotal roles in developing and providing cardiac care at multiple hospitals across the UK.
Dr Forbat's medical journey began with the completion of his medical degree at St Thomas' Hospital Medical School in 1980, followed by an MD in Physiology from the same institution in 1989. Since then, he has dedicated his career to the comprehensive management of adult cardiological conditions, including angina, valve disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and pacing.
Committed to incorporating innovative cardiology services, Dr Forbat utilises new technologies to offer patients true ""patient choice"" in their healthcare journey. Unique among cardiologists, he provides home consultations, bringing with him equipment such as 12 lead ECG, echocardiography, 24-hour BP monitoring, and ambulatory monitoring with Zio-Patch. This service is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot travel to a clinic or prefer the convenience of a home visit.
Dr Forbat's areas of specialisation include heart failure, the use of telemedicine for long-term conditions, and home monitoring for cardiac and related conditions, such as diabetes and COPD. He expertly manages palpitations, syncope (fainting), angina, breathlessness (e.g., heart failure), hypertension, and infective endocarditis. Home monitoring also facilitates the management of drug side effects.
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr Forbat can refer patients for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including transoesophageal echocardiography, coronary angiography, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, pacing, and electrophysiological studies. Patients can also be referred for angioplasty and surgery when necessary.
Dr Forbat's dedication to patient care and his comprehensive approach to cardiology make him a trusted specialist in his field. He has been providing exceptional cardiac care since his appointment as a consultant cardiologist, ensuring that his patients receive the highest standard of treatment and support.
