Tito J. Kabir MBBS, FRCP, PhD

"I have a strong interest in both academic research and clinical practice in cardiology, with a special focus on percutaneous coronary intervention via the radial approach. I gained experience in Switzerland as a cardiology interventional trainee and am actively involved in developing new programs to address resistant hypertension and percutaneous aortic valve procedures."

Dr Kabir is an international expert in interventional cardiology, performing between 300 and 400 angioplasty procedures a year. He has published nearly 100 peer-reviewed articles and is regularly invited to give presentation to fellow specialists across Europe.
