Looking for good cardiologist in Toronto

Looking for good cardiologist in Toronto

I recently had a 37yr old woman come into my personal training studio. She has tachycardia, has seen several cardiologist and has not been able to get a diagnosis of the cause. It was first noticed when she was 4yrs old and had a bad fever. Her resting heart rate is around 108bpm (it does drop slightly when sleeping) and goes greater than 200bpm when exercising at moderate+ intensity. She has not exercised regularly for several years. In her 20's (she was a lean 100lbs) she use to run long distance but this had no overall effect on lowering her resting heart rate. She has never received any recommendations for her condition other than lifestyle changes and weight loss (has put on weight over the years and doesn't eat as well as she should). When exercising (low intensity i.e. 3.2mph on the treadmill) she feels a shortness of breath and needs to stop after 20 minutes. Can anyone suggest a cardiologist in Toronto Canada or recommend a course of action for her. Thanks James

Hi, I live in the Toronto area and can suggest a couple of cardiologists that I have been dealing with. I have had a few episodes of atrial fibrillation and am in the process of getting an EP study done now. I am young as well..only 27. My cardiologist is Dr. Newbeging. He is based out of Etobicoke General Hospital. There is also another cardiologist..Dr. Vorts out of Brampton Civic hospital that has been really good. His # is (905) 452-9110. Dr. Newbigging's # is Tel #: (416) 747-3400 Ext. 32388. Both of these cardiologists are quite experienced. Hope this helps.

I had a successful ablation for PSVT 6 months ago.  My EP cardiologist is Dr. Eugene Downar at Toronto General Hospital, Peter Munk Cardiac centre, an excellent, caring doctor with 22 years experience.  Highly recommend.
