Reviews
Dr. Bhuva was on site waiting my arrival and immediately put me at ease by explaining procedure and assuring me that he would be monitoring my pacemaker the whole time I was in the "machine". I found Dr. Bhuva very pleasant and knowledgeable and would definitely recommend his services to persons who have a pacemaker, need an MRI and are on a long waiting list (NHS). I would like to express my thanks to Dr.Bhuva and his team for their speed in arranging/managing MMRI in a matter of weeks (I have been waiting for several months (and still waiting) for an appointment with the NHS. Thank you Keith A.
I saw Dr Bhuva recently. He was excellent at explaining with clear words my condition. He was very professional , calm and competent . I would throughly recommend him.
Unfortunately the cardiologist was late arriving to the clinic and this resulted in patients experiencing over a 30 minute delay. Otherwise the service revised was very good.
Very professional and friendly. Good clear explanations. Felt like nothing was too much trouble and my natural anxieties were reassuringly addressed.
I had an mri on my knee but needed a cardiologist as I have a pacemaker. I received excellent care from the cardiologist. He was very pleasant, relaxed and professional.
Had a very successful procedure that I struggled to find for a long time before I found Dr Bhuva
Saw me rapidly when I was very worried about my heart rhythm and I felt very reassured by his judgement and experience.
Dr Bhuva was very professional, he was able to identify my condition and explain it to me very clearly. He gave me good overview of treatment choices and was excellent at guiding me through them to identify the best solution . I would highly recommend.

Ready For Your First Marathon? Training Can Cut Years Off Your Cardiovascular Age
A high profile research study by Dr Bhuva studied the effects of fraining for a first marathon on the heart and vessels. This study used very advanced techniques to understand the cardiovascular system of individual runners. Individuals were studied before and after training for and completing a marathon. This showed improvements in the health of a new runner's arteries, cutting about four years off their "vascular age". Techniques used included exercise tests, cardiac MRI, echoccardiography and advanced blood pressure studies.

AI To Read A Cardiac MRI
According to a new study published by Dr Bhuva in the journal, Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, analysis of cardiac MRI scans using automated machine learning can be performed significantly faster and with comparable accuracy to human interpretation by trained cardiologists. This can help to make decisions related to timing of cardiac surgery, implantation of defibrillators and continuing or discontinuing infusions of cardiotoxic chemotherapy for cancer patients. Such clinical decisions ultimately rely on accurate and precise measurements from cardiac MRI scans.
