Professor Sagar N. Doshi is an Honorary Professor at the Department of Health, University College Birmingham, and an Honorary Associate Clinical Professor at the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, University of Birmingham School. He is an Interventional Consultant Cardiologist and Director of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention (TAVI) programme.
He graduated from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 1990, where he also completed a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy. In 1999, he was awarded a British Heart Foundation Junior Research Fellowship and pursued an MD thesis at the Wales Heart Research Institute, focusing on vascular biology. Following an Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at the prestigious Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, New York, USA, he returned to the United Kingdom to complete his cardiology training, becoming a consultant cardiologist in 2004.
Professor Doshi is a nationally and internationally recognised specialist in structural heart interventions. He has led the TAVI programme since its inception in 2008. His expertise includes ischaemic heart disease management and all aspects of general cardiology. He has performed over 2,200 percutaneous coronary interventions (angioplasties and coronary stents) and has undertaken over 2,000 TAVI procedures for severe aortic stenosis. He also specialises in Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER), a minimally invasive treatment for mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. Recently, he has been involved in the implantation of the Evoque valve, the first percutaneous transcatheter heart valve licensed for tricuspid valve regurgitation.
An active researcher, Professor Doshi has published widely in high-impact cardiology journals, including Circulation, Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, JACC Cardiovascular Interventions, Heart, European Heart Journal, American Journal of Cardiology, Catheterisation and Cardiovascular Interventions, British Medical Journal, and Clinical Science. He regularly lectures nationally and internationally on structural valve interventions and serves as a proctor for several biomedical companies, proctoring TAVI cases in America, Europe, and Japan, as well as rotational atherectomy cases in Europe.
