Professor Sagar N Doshi is an Interventional Consultant Cardiologist and Director of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention (TAVI) programme. He also holds academic appointments as Honorary Professor in the Department of Health at University College Birmingham and Honorary Associate Clinical Professor at the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, University of Birmingham. He practises as a Consultant Cardiologist at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

He graduated from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 1990, having also completed an intercalated Bachelor of Science in Anatomy. In 1999, Professor Doshi was awarded a British Heart Foundation Junior Research Fellowship and completed an MD at the Wales Heart Research Institute, where his research focused on vascular biology. He subsequently undertook an Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, New York, before returning to the UK to complete cardiology training at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, where he was appointed Consultant Cardiologist in 2004.

Professor Doshi is recognised nationally and internationally for his work in structural heart interventions and has led the TAVI programme since 2008. His clinical expertise spans ischaemic heart disease and general cardiology. He has performed more than 2,200 percutaneous coronary interventions, including angioplasty and coronary stenting, and has undertaken over 2,000 TAVI procedures for severe aortic stenosis.

Alongside his clinical practice, Professor Doshi maintains an active research profile and has published extensively 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 lectures regularly at national and international meetings on structural valve interventions and acts as a proctor for biomedical companies, supporting TAVI procedures in America, Europe, and Japan, as well as rotational atherectomy cases across Europe.
