About

Dr Neha Sekhri completed her undergraduate medical degree from Dayanand Medical College, Ludhiana, India. 


She undertook formal cardiology research at Queen Mary University, London and was awarded a PhD for her work on the prognosis of patients presenting with chest pain and angina. This study, which involved the analysis of data from over 10,000 patients has been widely published and has informed national policy decisions.

Her specialist postgraduate training in cardiology was based at Barts Health NHS Trust, London. Dr Sekhri was appointed as a Cardiology Consultant (Heart Muscle disease and CMR) to Barts Health NHS Trust in 2012.  She is also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London University. She is currently the clinical lead for inherited cardiovascular diseases at Barts Health NHS Trust.
