Personal Profile
Professor Dhanjal is a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at the University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust and the The Meriden Hospital, Coventry (Professor TS Dhanjal MBChB (hons) PhD FRCP FESC). He is the founding substantive Professor of Cardiology at the University of Warwick. Professor Dhanjal qualified with first-class honours from Birmingham University Medical School in 2000 and rotated through various Glasgow and Birmingham teaching hospitals before returning to University in 2003 to undertake research funded by the British Heart Foundation. Professor Dhanjal was awarded a PhD from Birmingham University in 2007. He was awarded a clinical training and research position at St Thomas’ Hospital, London where he completed his subspeciality training in heart rhythm treatment (electrophysiology). Towards the end of his training, he was awarded a two year advanced electrophysiology fellowship at the renowned Henri Mondor Hospital in Paris and was appointed as a Consultant in 2014.
Professor Dhanjal is trained in all aspects of cardiac arrhythmia management including catheter ablation in particular ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia and Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, pacemaker/defibrillator implantation, cardiac resynchronisation therapy and left atrial appendage occlusion. Professor Dhanjal's specialist interest is the ablation of complex arrhythmias especially atrial fibrillation and life-threatening ventricular tachycardia.
Professor Dhanjal has been appointed as the founding Professor of Cardiology at Warwick Medical School. He has brought in over one million pounds of research funding in his career to date and currently supervises 4 PhD students. Professor Dhanjal will have an additional 2 PhD students starting in the near future and his research team are focused on improving the understanding and management of dangerous heart rhythm disorders such as Ventricular Tachycardia as well as Atrial Fibrillation. The Heart Rhythm Research team collaborate with academic centres in London (Bart’s Translational Arrhythmia Research Group), Paris (Henri Mondor Hospital INSERM U955) and US (University of Washington, Seattle). Recently, the research team have shown the benefits of performing ablation using a high-density HDGRID catheter and have shown the benefits of performing ablation with a novel Diamond-Tipped ablation catheter. Professor Dhanjal is an expert international speaker in the field of VT and proctors other UK and European centres.
