Clinical interests
Heart Failure and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance.
Dr Anderson trained on the London (SW) Cardiology rotation and completed Specialist training in August 2005 and was appointed Consultant Cardiologist in October 2001.
Dr Anderson was BHF Junior Research Fellow at the Royal Brompton Hospital Cardiac MR Unit from 1998 to 2001, developing a method (T2*) for early detection of cardiac iron that is now the International Gold Standard and has led to a significant fall in cardiac deaths in thalassaemia.
Dr Anderson has worked with GP colleagues and commissioners and St George’s Hospital to build up community and hospital heart failure services since 2005.
In 2016, the St Georges Heart Failure Unit opened, providing specialist nursing, therapist and cardiology care to admitted patients with heart failure. The purpose of this unit is to improve patient experience and outcomes, to better integrate acute with community care and to provide a centre of excellence in which to train heart failure nurses and fellows.
Dr Anderson was appointed as Councillor to the BSH Board in 2015 and is a member of the European HFA Study Group on Imaging.
Dr Anderson has ongoing research interests in Heart Failure and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
