Professor Sagar N Doshi is an Honorary Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Birmingham, and an Honorary Professor at University College Birmingham. He is an Interventional Cardiologist and Director of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) programme at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

He has a national and international reputation in the field of transcatheter heart interventions and has led the TAVI program at QEHB since its inception in 2008. He was awarded a BHF Junior Research Fellowship in 1999 and undertook a prestigious Interventional Training Fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital New York, USA, in 2001. His research interests include structural heart interventions, advanced coronary heart disease interventions, haemodynamic support devices and vascular biology with the aim of improving clinical outcomes and technique.

He has regularly lectures nationally and internationally and has a keen interest in post-graduate education. He has organised post-graduate courses in rotational atherectomy, intravascular ultrasound, percutaneous left ventricular support devices, trans-septal puncture and trans-axillary TAVI. He is a proctor for a number of biomedical companies and has regularly trained physicians in the United States, Japan and Europe.

He has published in widely in leading cardiology journals including Circulation, Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, European Heart Journal, Heart and Eurointervention.

Biography

Sagar N Doshi graduated in 1990 from the University of Wales gaining a number of undergraduate prizes and distinctions. He undertook an intercalated BSc(Hons) in anatomy. He commenced his cardiology training on the West Midlands Cardiology rotation in 1994. In 1999 he was awarded a British Heart Foundation Junior research Fellowship and undertook a 2-year period of research at the Wales Heart Research Institute gaining an MD in 2003. His field of research was homocysteine and endothelial dysfunction. In 2001 he was awarded an Interventional Fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital New York where he trained in complex coronary, structural and peripheral interventions. He completed his cardiology training on the West Midlands rotation and was appointed as a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in 2005. He established the TAVI programme in 2008 and has overseen the continuous expansion of the program. His work focuses mainly on structural heart interventions including mitral and tricuspid Transcatheter Edge to Edge (TEER), balloon mitral valvuloplasty and paravalvular leak closure.
