Dr Piyush Jain
Consultant Cardiologist
MBBS MRCP(UK) MD(Res)
I am a Consultant Cardiologist at West Hertfordshire NHS Trust since 2017, specialising in advanced imaging (Echo, stress echo, Transoesophageal echo and cardiac CT) as well as permanent pacemaker implantation.
I completed my core medical training through the North London rotation, obtaining MRCP in 2010. I also pursued an MD (Research) at Imperial College London, which was awarded in 2015. The work was supported by a Research Council fellowship (Dorothy Hodgkin Post Graduate award). This study was as a part of a large population-based cohort and involved Cardiac CT, Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging and echocardiography which resulted in publications in peer reviewed journals.
