Your heart, in safe hands
When you’re worried about your heart - whether it’s chest pain, palpitations, high blood pressure or breathlessness - you want a consultant cardiologist in London who will take your concerns seriously and provide clear answers.
With over 20 years’ experience, I offer careful assessment, the right investigations when, and only when, they’re needed, and straightforward explanations you can trust.
Calm, clear cardiology
Why patients come to me
Many of my patients come to me after weeks of anxiety, online searches or conflicting advice about their heart health.
Some are worried about family history of heart disease; others are concerned about symptoms like chest discomfort, palpitations or dizziness.
My role is to take that uncertainty away. Listening carefully, selecting the right tests - such as ECG, echocardiogram, or stress tests - and giving you a clear pathway from worry to confidence.
Clarity when it matters most
My approach, everything you need, nothing you don't
Careful listening and thorough assessment
Investigations guided by judgment, not routine
Clear answers and a personalised treatment plan you can trust
About Dr Aamir Ali
I’m Dr Aamir Ali, MBChB, BSc(Hons), MRCP UK, a consultant interventional cardiologist with over 20 years’ experience, London-trained and London-based.
No two patients are alike, your symptoms, history and concerns are unique. I combine world-class expertise with careful judgment - listening, applying the latest advances, and recommending only what is necessary.
The result is individualised care, tailored to your heart.
I practice at leading London NHS hospitals in Northwick Park and Ealing and private clinics at Syon Lane and Clementine Churchill Hospital, seeing both NHS and private patients. I specialise in coronary intervention, structural heart disease, cardiac MRI, diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems and high blood pressure.
My background
I completed my undergraduate medical training at the University of Birmingham in 2004, having previously earned a BSc with Honours in Primary Healthcare and Clinical Research Methods from University College London. I hold full Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP UK) and passed the European Examination in General Cardiology in 2015.
I trained in cardiology on the prestigious Northwest London Cardiology rotation, where I gained broad and in-depth experience across leading centres, including Harefield Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital, and King’s College Hospital. My advanced fellowship in complex PCI and structural heart disease at King’s College Hospital allowed me to develop a high level of expertise in coronary intervention and transcatheter techniques, treating patients with complex coronary disease.
I further expanded my subspecialist skillset with a dedicated cardiac MRI fellowship at the Royal Brompton Hospital, one of the world’s foremost centres for cardiac imaging research and training. My dual expertise in interventional cardiology and advanced imaging allows me to offer a comprehensive and precision-based approach to diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment planning.
I am particularly skilled in the assessment and management of chest pain, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, and unexplained breathlessness. I have a strong interest in preventive cardiology, working with patients to reduce long-term risk through personalised advice on lifestyle, screening, and treatment.
I'm a strong advocate for patient-centred care and I combine high-level technical ability with a holistic, communicative approach. I'm known for taking the time to explain complex conditions clearly, and for working closely with patients to ensure their concerns, goals, and preferences are fully integrated into their care plan. As a born and bred Northwest Londoner, I bring not only clinical expertise but also a deep understanding of the communities I serves. This regional connection informs the way I communicates and builds trust with patients from diverse backgrounds.
I'm also active in research and medical education. I am the Principal Investigator for multiple NIHR portfolio studies and is regularly involved in new trial feasibility reviews. I maintain up-to-date GCP certification, and my research interests span interventional cardiology, cardiac MRI, and translational imaging studies.
I am a PACES examiner for Imperial College London and a Clinical and Educational Supervisor for junior doctors at all training levels. I also lead the Cath Lab rota at London Northwest University Healthcare NHS Trust, playing a key role in service planning and clinical governance.
Outside of medicine, I am a passionate photographer and scuba diver, with a special interest in macro and portrait photography. I enjoy cooking and exploring new cultures through travel.
