Dr Nicolaos Spyrou

I qualified in Medicine at St George's Hospital in London, where I also obtained a BSc in Clinical Pharmacology. I undertook most of my cardiology training at St Mary's and the Hammersmith Hospitals, as well as having worked for Prof Sir Magdi Yacoub at Harefield. I set up angioplasty in Reading and performed the first procedure in Reading at Battle Hospital in 2003! I am involved in all aspects of cardiology, including acute coronary syndromes/primary angioplasty, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure etc, with particular interests in: interventional cardiology, which includes permanent pacing, angioplasty, complex angioplasty which includes, rotablation, intravascular lithotripsy (shockwave treatment of coronaries), OCT (optical coherence tomography) and IVUS (intracoronary ultrasound) as well as treatment of CTOs (chronic total occlusions). I am married with one son and one daughter. My wife is a GP in Sonning Common, and a Professor of Primary Care at St George's University. I am a keen tennis player, a great fan of football, and is also an Advanced Open water PADI diver.
