Consultant Cardiologist
MA, FRCP, PhD
Specialises in
- Heart Health Check
I am a leading Consultant Interventional Cardiologist with over 15 years’ experience.
An expert in coronary angioplasty, stenting, and advanced coronary imaging, treating conditions including angina, chest pain, palpitations, high blood pressure and valve disease.
I trained at Cambridge, top London hospitals, and the world-renowned Thoraxcenter in Rotterdam, and am known for clear communication, thorough assessments, and compassionate care.
Holding senior leadership roles, I helped to shape cardiac services at a local and regional level. My contributions to research have helped advance the standards of interventional cardiology both in the UK and internationally.
I specialize in percutaneous coronary intervention including Complex High Risk Coronary Intervention (rotablation, chronic total occlusions and invasive coronary imaging). I also implant permanent pacemakers and implantable loop recorders.
To date I have performed over 2,000 percutaneous coronary interventions, and more than 500 permanent pacemaker implantations.
My research interests are the evaluation of drug-eluting stents and intracoronary imaging (intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography). I have co-authored over 30 research articles and over 40 scientific abstracts presented at major international scientific meetings.
