I have had the pleasure of knowing Riyaz personally and professionally since we were both worked at the Royal Brompton about 20 years ago. From the outset, he has always been a very thoughtful, considerate, softly spoken gentleman, who is dedicated to the care of his patients. He marries an excellent academic track record with sharp clinical insight, and is now highly regarded as a national expert in echocardiography, cardiac CT and lipid (including cholesterol) management.
