MBBS, BSc (Hons), MRCP, MD
I trained at The London Chest Hospital, St George's Hospital, London, The Heart Hospital, London and The Wessex Cardiothoracic Unit at Southampton University Hospital. I am highly experienced in dealing with a range of cardiac disorders, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, hypertension and arrhythmia. I commonly see patients with a range of symptoms including chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations and blackouts.
I am a national and international expert in complex echocardiography (ultrasound scanning of the heart). This includes transoesophageal echocardiography, stress echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging, contrast echocardiography and three dimensional echocardiography. These techniques allow a detailed evaluation of patients with suspected heart muscle disease, coronary artery disease, and valvular heart disease. I am a recognised expert of stress echocardiography for the DVLA and CAA.
My main areas of research include the dynamic assessment of coronary and valvular heart disease and assessing cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease. My MD thesis was awarded in 2005 and is entitled: 'Assessing cardiac risk in end stage renal disease'.
