Dr Rana has been awarded a Completed Certificate of Specialist Training (CCT) by the Royal College of Physicians (U.K.) for successfully completing a 5-year training programme in General Cardiology.
Subsequently, he completed a 2-year Advanced Interventional Cardiology training programme at the prestigious Royal Bournemouth Hospital, which is one of the busiest state-of-the-art Interventional Cardiology units in the U.K. He has been fully trained in Interventional Cardiology and specialises in the use of rotational atherectomy (rotablation), laser atherectomy, intravascular ultrasound, haemodynamic assessment of coronary arteries using pressure wire, optical frequency domain imaging, optical coherence tomography, dedicated bifurcation stents and the treatment of chronic total occlusions. Dr Rana hopes to introduce some of the aforementioned techniques in Lahore for the first time.
Dr Rana maintains an honest and sincere approach towards the care of his patients and believes in the ethos of patient choice. He also values a team-based model of care including the involvement of surgical colleagues, radiology colleagues, junior doctors, nurses and allied health-care professionals to drive patient care forward in the most productive and result-oriented direction. It is with these values and credentials that he has returned to Lahore, the city at the centre of his heart, and to Omar hospital that his father built three decades ago, to fulfil a shared dream of serving patients to the best of one’s abilities and integrity.
