Dr Owais Dar
Dr Dar completed his specialist general cardiology training and sub-speciality heart failure training at:
- North West London Hospitals NHS Trust
- The Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust
- Whittington Hospital.
He got a funded international fellowship in advanced heart failure, heart transplantation and left ventricular assist devices in Vienna General Hospital (Austria) and Stanford Health Care (California, USA).

Most of the patients he sees have been diagnosed with heart failure and are referred from other hospitals seeking opinions about:

- appropriateness of drug therapy
- the need for devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators
- cardiac transplant or mechanical circulatory support surgery.
Dr Dar got his research degree from the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, in 2010, studying the role of telemonitoring in heart failure patients.
His other research interests include cardiac transplantation and mechanical circulatory support.
Dr Dar has written several book chapters and articles in peer-reviewed journals on heart failure.
