Dr Ali Khavandi

Dr Ali Khavandi is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at the Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Foundation Trust. He specialises in complex angioplasty, prevention and advanced rhythm device implantation. He is part of the Consultant team providing 24/7 emergency treatments for the regional heart attack service at the Bristol Heart Institute. He has a special interest in minimising pacemaker scars and the role of diet and exercise in cardiovascular conditions. This has lead to appearances on BBC Horizons and writing on the subject for the Observer. He is currently engaged in research in collaboration with Bath University looking at the the potential for coronary plaque regression (supported by a grant from the NIHR) and the treatment of atrial fibrillation through dietary and exercise treatments. A 3rd study looking at microvascular angina is in the horizon.
