Professor Prathap Kanagala
Consultant Cardiologist, Honorary Associate Professor
MBBS, MRCP, PhD, FESC, FHFA
Specialises in
- Cardiac MRI
- Chest pain
- Echocardiography
- Heart failure
I am a Consultant Cardiologist with extensive experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of heart conditions, with a particular interest in heart failure and cardiac imaging.
I see patients with symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness and palpitations, as well as long-term conditions including heart failure and irregular heart rhythms. I use a range of investigations, including echocardiography and cardiac MRI, to help build a clear understanding of each patient’s condition and guide the most appropriate treatment.
I trained in London before gaining further specialist experience at centres including the Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, caring for patients with complex heart disease. I later completed specialist cardiology training in the UK, alongside research focused on heart failure and advanced cardiac imaging.
Alongside my clinical work, I am actively involved in research, education and national guideline development, contributing to improvements in patient care. I also hold an academic role with the University of Liverpool.
I understand that heart-related symptoms can be concerning, so I focus on providing thorough assessments and clear explanations, helping patients and their families feel informed and reassured.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active and following sport.

My research work has already resulted in several National and International Awards. I have authored (or co-authored) 10 National Echocardiographic Guidelines to date and also published numerous original research articles in some of the highest impact Cardiology Journals and contributed to the publication of 2 books. I continue to be very research active in my role as Principal Investigator for several International multi-centre clinical trials (including British Heart Foundation & National Institute for Health Research funded studies) and have generated several hundred thousand pounds for the NHS through my work.
I currently sit on the Audit & Research Committee of the British Society of Echocardiography, shaping Research Nationally. I regularly review grant/fellowship applications for the British Heart Foundation. I am also on the Editorial Board of the prestigious Ultrasound Journal.
