About Dr Vasim Farooq
Dr Vasim Farooq is a Consultant Cardiologist and Interventional Cardiologist, practicing privately at Spire Cardiff Hospital and within the NHS at the University Hospital of Wales. He specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness, blackouts, heart murmurs, and cholesterol management. Dr Farooq has particular expertise in complex coronary artery disease and structural heart interventions. His advanced procedural work includes transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic valve narrowing and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure for selected patients who have experienced unexplained strokes. As well as this he has performed over 3,000 coronary angioplasty procedures, most via minimally invasive wrist access, and uses cutting-edge intravascular imaging techniques such as IVUS and OCT to optimise outcomes. He earned a MB ChB from the University of Manchester in 2000 and obtained Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) in 2004. He was later awarded a PhD from the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, with research focusing on the management of complex coronary artery disease. Outside of his clinical work, he enjoys exploring the coastline of South West Wales and trekking across the UK with his family.
