I don't wish to be unhelpful but I think it may be contrary to the BHF Guidelines to post the name of a medical practitioner

It is against guidelines:

I fully understand it but there has to be procedure through which some guidance is available for overseas patients who are willing to pay for the medical cost.

Thanks

See my reply below, worth contacting the BHF nurses on this site for advice

It clearly states in the community guidelines that nobody should be naming Dr's etc, to do so could result in being removed from the forum.

I suggest you contact the British cardiovascular intervention society BCIS

bcis.org.uk/

You can look up how many angiograms a Cardiologists performs and their complication rates.

I suggest you look for a Cardiologist who performs a large number and practices in a centre of excellence in the NHS.

Hello

I respect your response.

Is it possible to get a list of Cardiologists with their qualification for my guidance please.

Thank you.

Perhaps the BHF nurses will be able to advise you where to look for a list

In my response to your previous post I asked if the people who did the CT scan did not recommend a way forward? Are you an NHS patient?

If you look at the websites for London hospitals with cardiology departments most list their cardiogists, with specialities. This should give you a good starting point. In reality I doubt that a skilled interventional cardiologist in one hospital is much different than one in another. The CT scan indicated that you have a narrowing or narrowings, and an angiogram will determine the way forward.
