About Robin Choudhury

Professor Robin Choudhury is a highly experienced consultant cardiologist (since 2005) and Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford. His NHS clinical practice is based at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

He qualified in medicine at the University of Oxford, with postgraduate training in London at the Royal Brompton, Hammersmith, and St Mary’s Hospitals, and in New York City at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. He has been elected to fellowships of the American College of Cardiology and the European Society of Cardiology. He is a Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and a former President of the Royal Society of Medicine Section on Lipids, Metabolism and Vascular Risk.

Professor Choudhury has established the Cardiovascular PIT-STOP®, which provides comprehensive, integrated cardiovascular risk assessment. He has particular expertise in cholesterol management, including lifestyle, diet, and drug treatments.

PIT – Primary Intensive Treatment: For individuals concerned about assessing their cardiovascular risk and minimising their lifelong chance of heart disease.

STOP – Secondary Treatment Optimisation Programme: For patients who have already had a heart attack, stent, or bypass operation and wish to minimise the risk of recurrence or progression.

He has published over 250 articles on aspects of cardiovascular disease and given more than 200 invited lectures (including at Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, and UCLA). He served as Section Editor (Clinical Cardiology) for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the world’s leading journal on cardiovascular disease.

His approach is one of clear explanation that addresses both the medical problem and any attendant anxieties. He seeks to equip patients to make evidence-based, informed decisions that reflect their individual needs and priorities, and to provide state-of-the-art care.
