About
Dr Kalpa De Silva, Consultant in Interventional Cardiology, is situated working within the St. Thomas' Hospital NHS Trust. He also sees patients privately at the One Heart Clinic in Harley Street, London Bridge Hospital, and the Spire St Anthony's hospital. He is highly experienced in all general and interventional cardiology issues, with a specific interest in managing coronary disease (including multi-vessel disease, and chronic total occlusions) using minimally invasive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques.
Dr De Silva began his medical education at St. Bartholomew's & The Royal London Medical School, where he graduated in 2004. He then progressed on to do specialist training in general and interventional cardiology at King's College and St Thomas's Hospitals. Following this, he underwent a fellowship at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney focusing on complex coronary intervention. During his training he decided to do a research degree in cardiovascular medicine, he was later awarded a PhD for his work.
Dr De Silva is an active researcher, holding the position of Honorary Senior Lecturer at King's College London. His current research interests focus on the management of heart attacks, angina and cardiogenic shock, and the use of mechanical circulatory support during stenting procedures. His research has resulted in the publication of over 50 peer-reviewed articles, and several co-authored books. He was also nominated for the American College of Cardiology's young investigator award.

Dr De Silva was very warm, polite and courteous and took time to put me at ease and explained the plan regarding investigating the issue for which I had been referred. He clearly explained each of the tests that would be done and the reason and benefits of each one. He showed very strong knowledge of the subject matter and he is able to explain things in a way that is understandable to a patient. Once all the results came through, he explained the meaning of each of the results to me which fortunately came back all clear and gave me encouraging input regarding managing my health positively, going forward.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I'm very happy to have been able to help and provide care for you during this time. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with Olivia should you need anything in the future.
