PROFESSOR MARK WALSH, CARDIOLOGIST & HEART RHYTHM SPECIALIST

Professor Walsh is a cardiologist with an interest in electrophysiology and inherited cardiac conditions. He trained in cardiology in Toronto and did his electrophysiology training in Cincinnati. After spending 6 years as a consultant in Bristol, Mark is now based in Dublin.

In addition to his post at CHI Crumlin and the Mater Hospital, Professor Walsh is also available in Blackrock Clinic on a regular basis to see patients for all types of ablations. Given his interest in sport, he am also interested in screening athletes for any conditions that may predispose to sudden arrhythmic death syndrome. In his personal time, Professor Walsh has a keen interest in tennis, rugby and mountain biking.
