Rui Providência , cardiologist and specialist in electrophysiology and arrhythmology, integrates as of this May Hospital da Luz Arrábida, strategically reinforcing the highly differentiated team here available. The specialist joins a team presently comprising three arrhythmologists in full dedication regime – João Primo , Helena Gonçalves and Sérgio Barra – whose consistent work has allowed to reach excellent levels of activity and quality, making treatment of arrhythmia one of the areas of reference in this hospital. With a professional path of excellence, Rui Providência has developed his activity over the last 14 years abroad, mostly in the United Kingdom integrating the prestigious Barts Heart Centre (St Bartholomew’s Hospital), in London, the largest British cardiovascular centre. Throughout his career, he has distinguished himself not only by his high clinical competence and volume of activity in complex procedures of arrhythmology, but also by a prominent scientifical path including the functions of professor at the London University College, the participation in the development of European recommendations in the area, and the publication of articles in international high-impact journals. To be able to count with Rui Providência represents a major addition to Hospital da Luz Arrábida. With this reinforcement of the team, Hospital da Luz Arrábida consolidates its position as major private arrhythmology centre in the north of the country, emphasizing the commitment towards clinical excellence, innovation, and highly differentiated healthcare for its patients.
