INTRODUCTION
CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Clinical Cardiology I have 25 years' experience in cardiology, primarily in major teaching hospitals. I provide specialist cardiology care and advice, covering all areas of cardiology. This includes outpatient clinics and inpatient care in the Oxford Heart Centre wards and intensive care unit. A significant part of my practice includes assessing and managing acutely unwell cardiac patients, and as a specialist in cardiac imaging and diagnostic testing, I am often consulted on difficult diagnoses, the causative mechanisms and the likely prognosis. I have particular expertise in valve disease, aortic disease and cardiac muscle dysfunction (cardiomyopathy / heart failure).
CARDIAC DIAGNOSTICS AND IMAGING
I was head of cardiac imaging and physiology at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, a centre of excellence for all forms of cardiac imaging with an international reputation, for 10 years until 2021. My particular interest is in cardiovascular MRI and echocardiography, and I have performed many thousands of these scans.
