Dr Sachin Khambadkone

Dr Khambadkone has extensive training in general paediatrics, neonatology and paediatric cardiology. With his clinical experience of over 25 years, he is an expert in diagnosing and treating all aspects of cardiac problems ranging from heart murmurs, chest pain or heart failure related to structural heart disease. In Interventional Cardiology, Dr Khambadkone was part of the pioneering team that introduced heart valve replacement procedure for the pulmonary valve, without open heart surgery. He was one of the first Proctor or Trainer for this technique and has helped set up programmes in many centres in UK, Europe and Asia. In addition to all interventional procedures such as balloon angioplasty, device closures of holes in the heart and valve implantations, he takes a keen interest in introducing novel techniques and devices. Dr Khambadkone has expertise in advanced imaging techniques such as 3 D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, echocardiography guided Trans catheter interventions and intra-operative echocardiography. He has a keen interest in 3D modelling of congenital heart lesions and use of 3D models in planning interventional and surgical treatment of congenital heart disease and patient education. He is the Clinical Lead for Transition in Cardiology and has set up a Transition Clinic for teenage patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital. He runs a weekly clinic where teenagers are seen with problems such as chest pain, palpitations, syncope or fainting. With his team on Nurse Specialists and colleagues from the Grown Up Congenital Heart unit at St Bart’s Heart Centre, they provide a comprehensive and holistic care to young persons with congenital heart disease and their families to prepare for transfer to adult care during a very challenging time. He has established protocols for long term follow-up of operated congenital heart lesions. Dr Khambadkone was instrumental in setting up a unique event for teenagers and adolescents with congenital heart disease called “Rhythmic Beats” that is now used as a pan-London event for young persons to aid their Transition process.
