Dr Tushar Kotecha

In his current role as a full-time clinician, he regularly performs coronary angiography and angioplasty (including pressure wire assessment, intracoronary imaging (IVUS and OCT) and complex intervention), right heart catheterisation for assessment of pulmonary hypertension and catheter-directed thrombolysis for the management of pulmonary embolism. He is also fully accredited in cardiac MRI with a specialist interest in imaging for assessment of coronary artery disease and effects of Covid-19 on the heart.

Dr Kotecha is friendly, approachable and passionate about holistic patient care. He takes the time to complete a comprehensive assessment and is keen to involve patients in a fully informed decision-making process.
