About
Dr Ian Loke is a highly experienced Consultant Cardiologist. He has been working as a full-time NHS consultant for over 15 years and was appointed to the University Hospitals of Leicester in 2007. Over this time, Dr Loke has overseen the development of the heart failure service in Leicester from a single-handed operation to one of the largest integrated teams in the UK.
He is passionate about caring for patients and believes in a comprehensive and compassionate approach. Dr Loke is skilled at using point of care ultrasound, which enables him to make a detailed clinical assessment of all patients at the bedside. Managing complex heart failure requires experience in all areas of cardiology such as coronary artery disease, hypertension and management of arrhythmias, as well as non-cardiac areas such as renal medicine and lung disease.
Dr Loke pioneered one of the UK's first clinic's for urgent heart failure cases, a decade ago. This has been highly commended by the European Society of Cardiology and it continues to be one of the country's most in-demand clinics. He has extensive experience treating heart failure patients and can provide a thorough assessment of breathless patients to ensure prompt diagnosis and expert treatment. This may include prescription medication, device therapy or surgical intervention as required.
In addition to his very busy outpatient commitment, Dr Loke also implants cardiac devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Over the years, he has consistently been one of the top 5 implanting cardiologists in the UK by volume. In just three years (2017 to 2020), he performed over 740 pacemaker procedures - making him one of the top three consultants in the UK for this type of procedure.
Dr Loke has participated in many national and international conferences. He is also on the education committee for the British Society for Heart Failure.
Dr Loke is happy to see patients in the Nottingham Spire Clinic as well as at the Glenfield hospital in Leicester.

Throughout my time as his patient, Dr Loke provided very friendly, thorough and expert care. He was an excellent communicator, keeping me regularly updated, and ensured I received the necessary treatment quickly.

I have had the good fortune to have Dr Ian Loke as my consultant at Glenfield Hospital for the past few years since my heart problems were revealed. I had no hesitation, following his advice, in having my pacemaker inserted by him. My confidence in him has been rewarded by what I consider to be a successful procedure. He has, since the procedure was completed, kept in touch and re-assured me if I've had any post-procedure concerns. I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anybody with heart problems. Regards, David A

Dr Loke came across as very knowledgable. I have seen several cardiologists over the years and Dr Lokes explanation of my symptoms was excellent- I understand a lot more about heart failure now. Hoping to see again.
