Professor Worthley offers a comprehensive range of consulting, echo/stress echo and interventional cardiology services, combining advanced expertise with a patient-centred approach. His work spans preventive care, diagnostic evaluation, and leading-edge cardiovascular procedures tailored to each individual’s needs..
Services
-
Professor Worthley is available to see all patients. His particular expertise lies in the management of coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease..
-
An ultrasound-based imaging modality providing real-time assessment of cardiac structure and function. It evaluates chamber size, wall motion, valvular morphology, and blood flow patterns.
-
Combines echocardiography with exercise induced stress. It detects flow-limiting coronary disease by revealing wall motion abnormalities not evident at rest.
-
ItAn invasive diagnostic test in which a catheter is advanced to the coronary arteries and contrast dye is injected. X-ray imaging outlines the presence, location, and severity of coronary artery disease.em description
-
A percutaneous procedure used to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. It typically involves balloon angioplasty and stent implantation, sometimes supported by adjunctive techniques such as atherectomy (plaque removal) or intracoronary imaging (IVUS/OCT) for optimization.
-
A catheter-based procedure to seal the left atrial appendage, a common site of thrombus formation in atrial fibrillation. It reduces stroke risk in patients unsuitable for long-term anticoagulation.
-
Structural heart interventions performed via catheter to close abnormal communications between the atria. Devices are deployed to reduce right-to-left shunting and associated risks such as paradoxical embolism or right heart strain.
-
A minimally invasive alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement predominantly for severe aortic stenosis. A bioprosthetic valve is implanted via catheter (commonly transfemoral) to relieve obstruction and improve hemodynamics.
-
A catheter-delivered bioprosthetic valve replacement for patients with severe mitral valve disease who are high-risk for open surgery. It restores valve function and improves symptoms of heart failure.
