I graduated in 1994 from the University of Queensland, Australia, then trained as an intern in Brisbane, Australia to build on my foundations in medicine. I also worked as a doctor in the acute emergency air retrieval service in the Greek islands for the Greek Armed Forces. I then specialised in cardiology at Athens University and pursued subspecialist training in stress echocardiography and cardiac catheterisation at St George Hospital, Sydney, Australia. I trained in Cardiac CT at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA. I am a honorary senior lecturer at Imperial College, London with extensive experience in medical education. I am the director of clinical studies for Imperial College School of Medicine at West Middlesex University Hospital. I am actively involved in research with my published work focusing on echocardiographic indices of valve disease and myocardial function.
