Biography

Dr Sado is a Cardiology Consultant and leads the cardiac MRI service at King’s College Hospital, a large teaching and academic centre. As well as general cardiology, he has particular interests in heart failure, heart imaging, heart disease in patients with cancer (cardio-oncology) and inherited heart diseases.

He has won international, national, and regional prizes and awards for his ongoing research which spans the fields of his specialist interests in cardiology.

Dr Sado is a national, regional, and local leader for cardiology education, working as training programme director for South Thames Cardiology trainees and sitting on British Cardiac Society, Royal Society of Medicine and the Nationalist Specialist Advisory Committee in Cardiology. He is frequently invited to lecture and chair sessions at national and international conferences and is leading on the redesign of the UK national heart failure training curriculum.

The most important values his work with patients, research volunteers and colleagues are based on are integrity, honesty, openness, empathy, understanding and the desire to constantly improve cardiology practice. Using these and other skills, his overall aim is to strive to provide the highest possible quality of clinical care, research, teaching, leadership and management in healthcare.
