In addition to his role as a general cardiologist working in secondary and tertiary cardiac centres (Addenbrooke’s and Royal Papworth Hospitals), his main area of expertise focuses on the investigation and treatment of coronary artery disease including coronary angioplasty and stenting, acute management of heart attacks, long term management of angina including optimum risk mitigation strategies and coordination of multidisciplinary care provision for patients following coronary angioplasty and bypass grafting surgery.
