About Dr Nick Linton
GMC number: 6053993
Year qualified: 2002
Place of primary qualification: University of London
Dr Nick Linton is a highly esteemed consultant cardiologist, specialising in heart rhythm problems. He finds this field immensely rewarding and is dedicated to providing exceptional care to his patients. Dr Linton treats a wide range of conditions, including palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, and collapses. He is proficient in performing cardiac ablation procedures and pacemaker implantation.
Before embarking on his medical career, Dr Linton earned a master's degree in engineering, economics, and management from Oxford University. He then contributed to the development of new cardiac output monitoring technology. Dr Linton pursued his medical studies at King's College, London, where he graduated with distinction in 2002.
Dr Linton is a member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians (MRCP) and received his cardiology training at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, including St Mary's and Hammersmith hospitals, as well as St Thomas' Hospital. He also completed a clinical fellowship in Bordeaux, a globally recognised centre for cardiac electrophysiology.
As an expert in clinical assessment, investigation, and invasive procedures for heart problems, Dr Linton leverages his engineering background in his medical research. He has a particular interest in ablation treatments using 3D mapping technologies and has co-developed a leading cardiac mapping system with colleagues at Imperial College.
Dr Linton has been serving as a consultant cardiologist since his appointment and continues to make significant contributions to the field of cardiology through both his clinical practice and research endeavours.
