I have a special interest in premature coronary artery disease and subclinical coronary artery disease i.e. detection prior to symptoms. This also formed the basis of my MD at Imperial College London, supported by a Research Council UK fellowship. The research involved assessing ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk in patients without known coronary artery disease with use of Cardiac CT, Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging and echocardiography. I have over 10 years in all the above imaging modalities and now train juniors/ non specialists in these techniques.
The research led to an MD from Imperial College London and multiple high impact presentations and publications.
I have a keen interest in valvular heart disease and cardiac imaging. As a result, I am the departmental lead for echocardiography and also lead the heart valve surveillance service at West Hertfordshire NHS trust.
