Dr Tom Cahill is a Consultant Cardiologist based at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. He has extensive experience in general cardiology and a subspecialist interest in heart valve disease, coronary artery disease, and structural heart disease.

His expertise encompasses the full spectrum of transcatheter procedures for structural heart disease, including complex interventions in patients with prior valve replacement. He also specialises in catheter intervention for the treatment of coronary artery disease. He has a busy practice and is a high-volume operator for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, percutaneous closure of ASD/PFO, coronary angiography and stent implantation, left atrial appendage occlusion and transcatheter valve replacement.

Dr Cahill graduated from the University of Cambridge (Queens' College) with a double first and trained in clinical medicine at University College London. Following rotations in London and Oxford, he undertook training in Interventional Cardiology at the John Radcliffe Hospital. He then spent two years at the internationally-renowned Columbia University Medical Center in New York, learning state-of-the-art approaches for the treatment of valvular and structural heart disease.

Dr Cahill has extensive experience in medical research and completed a DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford in 2017. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers, contributed to the leading cardiology textbooks, and lectures nationally and internationally.
