About Dr Jon Swan
I've spent my whole medical career as a cardiologist, working alongside some of the best coronary care professionals in the NHS — and for the last 30 years I've also run a private cardiology practice.

A specialist interventional cardiologist
I am a consultant cardiologist and I do everything a cardiologist usually does: diagnose, assess and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart.
As an interventional cardiologist I am also qualified to carry out more advanced procedures such as coronary angiography and stenting. I am a specialist in screening for underlying heart disease and in cardiac assessments for athletes.
My medical biography
I qualified with an MBChB from Manchester University in 1983. My cardiology training took place at several major London teaching hospitals, including the Royal Brompton National Heart and Lung Institute, Harefield Hospital and King's College Hospital.
I was awarded an MD in Cardiology in 1994 after completing original research in cholesterol measurement. After being appointed as a consultant cardiologist, I was instrumental in developing a new and very successful interventional cardiology service for the North West of England, based at the Pennine Acute Trust's Silver Heart Unit.
My specialist interests are coronary heart disease and coronary artery stenting, and I have wide experience in screening for underlying heart disease. My main clinical interests include coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty, echocardiography, stress ECG, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension and blood pressure monitoring, pacing and heart failure.
I have been in private practice as a consultant cardiologist since 1995, providing a full cardiac assessment and treatment service in the private sector.
