Dr Suneel Talwar

I started my specialisation in cardiology in Leicester in 1996 and was subsequently granted a research fellowship by Leicester University in 1997. I then moved to the South West Cardiothoracic Centre, Plymouth in 1999 where I spent 5 years as a Specialist Registrar in Cardiology. In 2003-04 I spent time as an interventional fellow at the St Olav University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway. I was appointed as the clinical lead for the Coronary Angioplasty programme at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital in 2004.

I am a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist specialising in all aspects of general and interventional cardiology including coronary angiography, PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, commonly known as coronary angioplasty and stenting) as well as the treatment of valvular heart disease, heart failure, hypertension and atrial fibrillation.I see patients suffering from symptoms that might reflect an underlying problem with the heart such as chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness and blackouts.My sub-speciality interest is in complex coronary intervention and stenting. I have performed approximately 10,000 PCI procedures and am one of the highest volume PCI operators in the UK with an excellent success rate.
