Dr Dhrubo Rakhit
Consultant Cardiologist
MBBS BSc PhD FRCP FACC
I am a specialist in all types of echocardiography, including 3D echo, tissue Doppler, stress and contrast echo, transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) and optimisation echo for patients with pacing devices.
I have a special interest in stress echo and has written first author papers published in peer-reviewed journals in many aspects of echocardiography.
I graduated from Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School in 1993 and trained as a cardiologist in London. In 2003 I undertook a training fellowship in advanced echocardiography under the supervision of Professor Tom Marwick at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
I have presented my work at a number of prestigious national and international meetings and completed my PhD titled 'The Use of Echocardiography to Screen High-Risk Patients for Subclinical Cardiac Disease" in 2006.
