About

I’m a Consultant Cardiologist based in London and an Expert in the assessment, detection, and treatment of Heart Problems.

I have 20 years of clinical experience and trained at internationally renowned centres of excellence, such as King’s College Hospital and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.

I don’t do a one-size-fits-all approach! I provide personalised care that is specifically tailored to your needs.

I specialise in 4 areas:

  • Chest Discomfort/Pain
  • Breathing Problems
  • Palpitations (skipped, extra or irregular heartbeat)
  • Heart check-ups (including tests before having an operation)

Feeling that discomfort in your chest or having trouble catching your breath?

Does your heart skip a beat? Don't wait around and wonder…I can help!

This is how I will work with you:

1. I won't rush you - I will listen.

I’ll ask questions about your symptoms, lifestyle, and family history to understand what's going on.

2. We’ll get to the bottom of your problem.

You might need tests like blood work, an ECG, or even an advanced scan. I will use my expertise to figure out the cause.

3. I’ll make a plan with you.

Once we know what's happening, I’ll explain everything clearly. Together, we'll decide on the best treatment, whether it's medication, lifestyle changes, or even a procedure.


A consultation with me will give you the answers you're looking for. You'll walk away knowing exactly what's going on, what treatment options are on the table (and what they mean for you)...and how to keep your heart happy and healthy for years to come.

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your heart!

Explanation

Dr Amaral not only took time to fully explain the outcome of the investigation into my supposed heart condition, but was patient, interested and interesting in discussing the way forward with regard to ensuring my continued good health. His whole manner ensured that it was an unhurried and adult experience. It was obviously fortunate that the result of a CT scan meant that I was receiving good news. I am certain that had the news been less encouraging Dr Amiral would have dealt with that scenario in a similarly compassionate manner.

Explanation

I find Dr Nelson Amaral to be empathetic, and patient with a fantastic bed side manner. The first time I spoke to him was on the phone. With everything that I was going through in such a short period on he not only did he make sure I knew everything that was going on with me and what he was action he was taking for me. He was very reassuring and calming. I found everything he was telling me was very thorough and not confusing. Every time I have seen or spoken to him he is always genuine and welcoming and makes me feel at ease. It’s the little things that make the difference like the fact he noticed my hair has drastically changed ( bearing in mind I haven’t seen him in nearly months) or remembering what my do for work both my job at Tesco and my Bouncy castle company. It’s things like this that let me know that I’m not just a number even though I am not his only patient.

The Secrets of a Woman's Heart - exposing the heart disease gender gap

Unfortunately, Heart Disease is the No.1 cause of death in women. Heart Disease takes more women’s lives than all types of Cancer…combined! Women may experience heart symptoms in an unusual way & risk factors can impact women’s hearts differently. But we're still using a one-size-fits-all approach to Diagnosis and Treatment. This means that women's heart problems can sometimes be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Read more here:
