Dr. Ingrid Sørensen

Cardiac electrophysiology — rhythm, not plumbing. She sees the palpitations, the blackouts and the atrial fibrillation the rest of the cardiology team refers on.

Clinical philosophy

The rhythm you feel and the rhythm we record

Half of electrophysiology is catching the episode. A monitor worn on the wrong week records a fortnight of nothing, so the first appointment is mostly about when your symptoms actually happen.

Not every abnormal rhythm needs treating. Plenty of ectopy is harmless, and being told so — with the trace on the screen — ends more distress than any drug.

When ablation is the right answer she says so early rather than working through three drugs first. Delay is not caution when the evidence points one way.

Focus areas

What she sees most

Fourteen things she treats regularly. Anything outside them she refers inside the practice rather than sending you to find someone yourself.

  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Palpitations
  • Supraventricular tachycardia
  • Ectopic beats
  • Blackouts and syncope
  • Ambulatory rhythm monitoring
  • Anticoagulation decisions
  • Ablation assessment
  • Pacemaker follow-up
  • Inherited arrhythmia screening
  • Postural tachycardia
  • Rate versus rhythm control
  • Danish-speaking patients
  • Norwegian-speaking patients

  • She asked when the palpitations happen, not just what they feel like. The monitor caught it on day two.

    Maya EllisonPatient since 2021
  • She showed me the trace and said the extra beats were harmless. Two years of worrying ended in that appointment.

    Daniel ChoPatient since 2019
  • Another cardiologist wanted to try a third drug. She went straight to ablation and I have been in rhythm since.

    Rosa IglesiasPatient since 2022
