Biography
I am a Consultant Cardiologist with training in all aspects of cardiology and specialist interests in heart function, heart valves and advanced cardiovascular imaging.
I undertook my medical training in France, working for 10 years in large teaching hospitals and research teams at Marseille University Hospitals, Lille University Hospitals and Paris Diderot University.
I came to London to study the effects of diabetes on the heart at Imperial College, working alongside cardiologists and diabetes specialists at Hammersmith and Charing Cross Hospitals. I undertook my cardiac CT training from experts at Guy’s Hospital in London.
I completed a MsC in Cardiovascular Physiology and a PhD in Cardiology and Haemodynamics. I was awarded a research grant from the French Federation of Cardiology for my research on heart valve disease and on exercise echocardiography.
I have been the lead heart failure consultant for West Herts Hospitals NHS trust and for the community heart failure service at CLCH NHS trust, and am now focusing on the valve clinic and imaging service.
