About

Dr. Lance Forbat is a highly experienced Consultant Cardiologist. He has expertise in both the NHS and private sectors and has played pivotal roles in developing and providing cardiac care at multiple hospitals across the UK. Dr. Forbat's journey in medicine began with the completion of his medical degree at St Thomas' Medical School in 1980, followed by his MD in Physiology from the same institution in 1989. His expertise includes over three decades as a consultant cardiologist in the comprehensive management of adult cardiological conditions, including but not limited to angina, valve disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and pacing. Dr. Forbat is committed to incorporating innovative cardiology services utilizing new technologies, offering patients true "patient choice" in their healthcare journey. He uniquely offers home consultations, bringing with him equipment including a 12-lead ECG, echocardiography, 24-hour BP monitoring, and ambulatory monitoring with Zio-Patch. Dr. Forbat's areas of specialization include heart failure, use of telemedicine for long-term conditions, home monitoring for cardiac and related conditions (commonly associated comorbidities include diabetes, COPD), managing palpitations, syncope (and fainting), angina, breathlessness (e.g., heart failure), hypertension, and infective endocarditis. Home monitoring also facilitates Dr. Forbat in the management of drug side effects. He can refer for transoesophageal echocardiography, coronary angiography, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, pacing, and electrophysiological studies. Patients can also be referred for angioplasty and surgery.
