About Professor Melvin Lobo

Professor Melvin Lobo is a senior Consultant Cardiovascular Physician based in the Bart's Heart Centre and the William Harvey Research Institute. He has a specialist interest in blood pressure disorders of all types, autonomic control of the circulation and also resistant hypertension and device-based therapies thereof. He is an accredited Clinical Hypertension Specialist of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and British Hypertension Society.

Professor Lobo is Director of the Bart's Blood Pressure Clinic which is a Hypertension Centre of Excellence and receives referrals of patients with complex circulatory disorders on a national/international basis and has contributed to several landmark studies in hypertension, particularly in the field of novel device therapy of hypertension. His research work has been featured on television and in the national press on numerous occasions.

In addition to hypertension, he is also an acknowledged expert in the management of low blood pressure (hypotension) and BP variability disorders and PoTS (postural tachycardia syndrome) and sees patients on a national basis with these issues in the Barts BP Clinic and on an international basis in his private practice. He has recently co-written and co-edited the Textbook of PoTS which was published in October 2020. He has the largest cohort of medication intolerant patients nationally and has evolved, published and lectured on specialised strategies with liquid and patch formulations of antihypertensives to get around intolerances to tablets.

He is recognised globally as a key opinion leader in his field and this is reflected in numerous roles in multicentre clinical trials, invited lectures at major conferences and also as an editor/reviewer of numerous journals including JACC and Lancet. More recently he has authored national and co-authored international guidelines for device therapy of hypertension which were published in the prestigious European Heart Journal.

Professor Lobo organises and co-chairs the UK Annual Symposia on Device Therapy of Hypertension with a distinguished panel of international authorities in hypertension medicine. He is a specialist adviser to NICE and the European Society of Hypertension on interventional therapies in hypertension and a member of the Council on Hypertension of the European Society of Cardiology.

Professor Lobo was extremely thorough and sympathetic in my consultation he is very knowledgeable about an area that’s not well understood and there are very few specialists in. He immediately had a plan which made me feel very hopeful after not getting much answers for months. Would highly recommend

I felt fully seen, heard and validated. Thank you!! (I've been struggling for over 2 decades and before Professor Lobo and Dr Kamourieh, I always felt dismissed or ignored as no one could find anything). I now feel relieved and so lucky to be under their care

This was my first consultation with Professor Lobo. He took time to question and understand the symptoms that I have been experiencing. Professor Lobo is the first consultant that I’ve seen who understands what I am describing and how these symptoms affect me. He explained what his diagnosis was and the potential treatments that might be suitable. I couldn’t have asked for more and I have every confidence in the care that I will receive.

Professor Lobos clinic in Harley Street was easy to find. The receptionist was welcoming and helpful. My daughter was seen on time and Professor Lobo was very efficient, professional and very informative in the appointment. My daughter came away full of knowledge of what diagnoses she had received and a treatment plan. She had been waiting 4 years for help and support and Professor Lobo managed to do all that with one appointment. So far the after car has been brilliant as well. Highly recommend!

I am hugely grateful to Professor Lobo. After nine months of trying to get answers, he was the first professional who really understand what was going on with my long Covid symptoms. He explained very clearly what was happening and, crucially, provided a clear treatment plan. I feel very lucky to have found Professor Lobo and would thoroughly recommend him. A thank you as well to Professor Lobo’s support team who took the time to explain things on the phone to me in advance of the consultation and were hugely helpful throughout.

I went with 3 possible diagnoses, one terrifying, 2 less so. Prof lobo put my mind at rest over the frightening one, and then we discussed the other two reaching a well reasoned diagnosis which was explained very clearly. Prof lobo then made management suggestions. He explained his advice, the science behind it and the rational for it I couldn't have asked for a better consultation

I wanted to see Professor Melvin for undiagnosed health symptoms such as palpitations, feever without a temparuate and extreme fatigue. Within a 45 min consultation, he explained everything to me in detail. He is extremely sharp and a very nice man. He is also super honest he didn't upsell me into anything even though he easily could have.

My consultation with Professor Lobo was excellent. He was highly professional, took a comprehensive and thoughtful history, and showed a deep understanding of my problem. He explained the management plan clearly and effectively, which was very reassuring.

Professor Lobo is a highly intelligent doctor who can think ‘outside the box’ and he is extremely good at treating multiple linked conditions for which he finds solutions. Our shared cohorts of patients with hypermobile EDS, Mast Cell Activation and dysautonomia are in very good hands with Prof Lobo and I like the fact that he works in a collegiate and collaborative way, which puts the patient at the centre of best care. He treats our patients with the kindness and respect they deserve and this creates a positive path where no stone is unturned, to achieve the best outcome for them. I’m so gl...
