Dr Alisdair Ryding

I am a Consultant Cardiologist with a private practice at Spire Norwich Hospital and Spire Ella May Barnes Clinic in Norwich, Norfolk.

I specialise in treating patients with angina and heart attacks using coronary angioplasty (also known as PCI). National audits, which are publicly available, have consistently confirmed that my patients have exceptionally good outcomes following PCI.  My clinical practice encompasses all aspects of adult cardiology including Interventional cardiology, coronary artery disease, heart arrhythmia, heart failure and valve disease.

I have been a consultant in Norwich since 2009, having trained in Edinburgh, Nottingham, Oxford and Sydney. I am the lead cardiologist for research at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and I am running a number of clinical trials looking at new treatments for patients with heart disease. In collaboration with scientists at the University of East Anglia I am leading a research programme into the molecular triggers of heart attacks.

I have published a textbook on echocardiography, which is used by cardiology trainees worldwide.  My research includes ‘Molecular biology of atherosclerosis and triggers of myocardial infarction’.
