About me

Dr Bode Ensam is a consultant cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist who has an expertise in the assessment and management of patients with arrhythmia. In addition he has extensive expertise in rare inherited cardiac conditions (ICC), sudden arrhythmic death syndromes (SADS), sports cardiology and the management of arrhythmias in pregnancy.

After graduating from Warwick Medical School in 2007 he undertook general medical training in Dorset and Hampshire and became a Member of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) in 2011. After securing a competitive national training number in Cardiology he underwent training in the West Midlands before undertaking a clinical and research fellowship in ICC and sports cardiology at St George's Hospital, London under the guidance of Professor Elijah Behr.

At St George's he developed an expertise in rare electrical cardiac conditions, such as, Brugada Syndrome, Long-QT syndrome (LQTS), Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT), unexplained cardiac arrest and recurrent syncope.
