Dr Nikhil Joshi

Nik Joshi is a Consultant Cardiologist with extensive experience in general cardiology and a special interest in coronary artery disease (such as angina and heart attacks) as well as valvular heart disease. His particular focus is prevention, management and treatment of coronary disease. He specialises in invasive treatment of heart artery blockages (coronary angioplasty) and has particular expertise in treatment of heart valve diseases with keyhole procedures such as TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve replacement/implantation).

His primary cardiology training was in Edinburgh, where Dr Joshi also undertook a highly successful PhD, followed by training in interventional and general cardiology. After undertaking the British Cardiology Interventional fellowship in Vancouver Island, Canada, he has been appointed as Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at University Hospitals Bristol. This post has allowed Dr. Joshi to undertake high volume complex coronary intervention (performing more than 300 percutaneous coronary interventions per year) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (performing more than 100 per year). Dr Joshi is very active academically as honorary senior lecture at the University of Bristol and was recently awarded the highly competitive Clinical Academic Research Partnership Award by the Medical Research Council.

Dr Joshi believes in empowering patients with current clinical evidence about their condition so as to enable them to make a well-informed decision about the treatment options available to them.
