Dr Chris Miller: Cardiology

Covid-19

Hospitals are starting to offer more treatment for private patients, although a very small number will continue to provide NHS care only. Hospitals will need to catch up on all the treatment that was postponed at the start of the outbreak. If you’re due to see a Bupa recognised healthcare professional, we recommend you discuss this with them as they’ll be best placed to let you know whether there’s likely to be any impact on your treatment. Hospitals are taking extra precautionary steps to keep patients safe, such as asking them to self-isolate for 14 days before treatment and pre-admission testing.

About me

I trained as a doctor in Manchester, graduating in 2003 with Honours. During my medical degree I also obtained a First Class Honours BSc in Physiology. My cardiology specialist training included time in Manchester, London and at the National Institutes of Health in the USA. I was awarded a PhD in Cardiovascular Medicine in 2013.

I am currently a Consultant Cardiologist at Wythenshawe Hospital where I lead the cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease) service, lead the heart failure with preserved ejection fraction service and perform heart imaging diagnostic tests including cardiac MRI and CT scanning.

I also lead a heart research group that aims to improve the diagnosis of heart conditions and better guide their management, and evaluate new treatments for heart conditions. I have published research papers widely and regularly give invited talks around the world.

Most of my time outside work is spent looking after our 8 year old twin boys and 4 year old daughter.
