Dr. Marco Spartera is an NHS Consultant Cardiologist at both the John Radcliffe Hospital (Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) and the Great Western Hospital NHS. In addition to his NHS roles, he is the director of Oxford Cardiovascular Health Ltd (OCH), a private clinic providing cardiology services across Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, and the Cotswolds.
Internationally recognised for his expertise in multi-modality cardiovascular imaging, Dr. Spartera specialises in diagnosing and managing complex cardiac conditions, including those related to ischaemic stroke, obesity, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure. He also leads clinical services such as the 'stroke-cardiology' and 'valve clinic' at the Great Western Hospital.
Dr. Spartera has an empathetic and compassionate approach to his practice, offering consultations via video, telephone, or face-to-face appointments. His patients consistently provide positive feedback, emphasising his ability to deliver clear, actionable cardiology plans that are tailored to each individual’s needs and values.
With a special focus on non-invasive cardiac imaging, Dr. Spartera employs advanced diagnostic tools, including cardiovascular MRI, cardiac CT, and sophisticated echocardiography techniques such as trans-oesophageal, bubble, contrast, 3D, and stress echocardiography. His diagnostic expertise is often sought in challenging cases where symptoms are complex or have remained unresolved after multiple consultations. His ability to navigate these intricate cases ensures accurate, timely assessments and personalised care.
Dr. Spartera earned his PhD in cardiovascular medicine at the University of Oxford, where he currently leads research into cardiac flow abnormalities, aiming to uncover novel mechanisms of cardioembolism and heart failure. He is also a principal investigator in the LOSE-AF trial, which explores weight loss as a strategy to improve outcomes for overweight/obese patients with atrial fibrillation. His research is supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre and the British Heart Foundation.

Dr Spartera was very professional in appearance and manner. He took time to listen to me and to give thought to consider my situation. I received an extremely thorough cardiology examination during which procedures were explained , including pricing! Consequently I believe I am in good hands to help me get the best from my heart and body, with an ongoing follow up to asses the treatment making changes if applicable.
Highly professional, well prepared and good understanding of what he was doing.
My visit was a very positive and straightforward experience. Dr Spatera was attentive, approachable and thorough, taking the time to ensure I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the consultation. I left feeling reassured and confident about my treatment plan, with a clear understanding of my prescriptions, the next steps and what to expect moving forward. Overall, I felt listened to, supported and very happy with the care I received.
We prepared for the consultation as advised. This meant we were able to answer all of Dr Spartera's questions. It was an informative and reassuring meeting, informal, and concluded with a plan that started immediately with a review in the near future. Dr Spartera's was an active listener with an empathetic yet firm manner, and his instructions were clear. We left with confidence and hope.
Dr Marco Spartera was very thorough ,friendly and helpful. I saw him at 1830 on Friday 2nd October and his letter , summarising everything was with me on 3rd October. All very efficient.
I had a medical emergency as was able to get an urgent appointment easily. Dr Spartera quickly dealt with the situation and came up with a plan of action and was as putting my mind at ease that it would all be dealt with and the outcome would all be fine. I cannot thank him enough for the care and attention and the ease and time he took to explain matters even at the end of a long day for him. The follow up has been equally excellent. What a lovely doctor, thank you.
I found Dr Marco friendly and very reassuring, he took the time to explain everything to me, especially as I have been very concerned about my heart health in the last few months, he put me at ease during my tests and explained them fully with me, thank you Dr Marco Sparters 🙏🏻
Dr Marco was very professional and focused. He was very thorough and kind which gave me much confidence.
Informative and reassuring. Marco patiently explained the situation and answered all of my questions. This is my first experience of private health care and from scan to consultation it was excellent.
Was requested by another healthcare provider to seek an ECG and my experience with Dr Spartera at Manor Hospital was flawless. I felt treated with great care and that my concerns were listened and responded to. Would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Spartera to anyone.
Dr Sparteri is a highly accomplished and meticulous cardiologist, as well as a warm and caring human being.
