Dr Douglas Cannie

Dr Douglas Cannie is a reassuring and highly skilled Cardiologist who specialises in heart failure, advanced cardiac imaging, and inherited cardiovascular conditions. He is dedicated to providing patients with precise diagnoses and personalised care pathways. His clinical practice is characterised by a compassionate approach, helping individuals and their families understand complex cardiac conditions through clear communication and expert guidance.

Dr Cannie has a particular clinical interest in the genetics of heart disease, focusing on conditions such as dilated cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, and cardiac amyloidosis. He is actively involved in clinical research aimed at improving the detection of rare cardiac diseases and stratifying the risk of ventricular arrhythmias. Through the integration of advanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and family screening protocols, he works to identify cardiac issues early and implement preventative management strategies.

Dr Cannie qualified in medicine with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and also holds a Master of Arts (MA). He went on to complete a PhD in inherited cardiovascular disease at University College London, where his research focused on the genetic architecture and epidemiology of heart failure. Committed to clinical education, he also obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Biomedical and Healthcare Education. Dr Cannie is an active professional member of the European Society of Cardiology.
