Dr. Omar Alfalasi

Dr. Omar Alfalasi is a consultant cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City in Abu Dhabi, with 17 years of experience. He completed his medical degree in the UAE, then pursued specialist training in cardiology at the University of Montpellier in France, where he worked closely with the electrophysiology team. He went on to complete a fellowship in adult cardiac electrophysiology at Toronto General Hospital in Canada, developing expertise in complex heart rhythm management.

Dr. Alfalasi has performed over 1,000 device implantation procedures—including pacemakers and defibrillators—and more than 700 ablation procedures (a technique that uses heat or cold to correct irregular heartbeat). His practice focuses on managing arrhythmias and abnormal heart rhythms using both device-based and catheter-based techniques. He has held leadership roles including director of cardiac electrophysiology at SSMC (2020–2022) and chair of the cardiac institute at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City.

He is a good fit for patients with irregular heartbeats, those needing pacemaker or defibrillator implants, or those requiring advanced catheter ablation for arrhythmia management.
