Dr Fadi Jouhra at LSDC Healthcare
Private Consultant Cardiologist in the City of London
Dr Fadi Jouhra sees patients at LSDC Healthcare for consultant-led cardiology care in the City of London. If you have chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, high blood pressure, or a heart-related concern that needs a proper assessment, Dr Jouhra can see you quickly, investigate what is actually going on, and give you a clear plan.
He holds an MD, MRCP, and FHFA, and is a Consultant Cardiologist and Honorary Senior Lecturer at St George’s University Hospitals, where he leads the heart failure and cardiac device service. He is also a Visiting Professor at Brunel University London and a published researcher in heart failure and digital health.
Book Dr Fadi Jouhra at LSDC Healthcare
To see Dr Fadi Jouhra:
- Book an in-person consultation at LSDC Healthcare, 23 Widegate Street, two minutes from Liverpool Street Station
- Request a virtual follow-up where appropriate, including for international and executive patients who need flexible continuity of care
The clinic can coordinate rapid-access diagnostics including ECG, ambulatory monitoring, echocardiography referral, and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. Where specialist imaging such as CT coronary angiography is indicated, trusted partner pathways are in place.
Why patients choose Dr Fadi Jouhra
Dr Jouhra completed his specialist cardiology training across King’s College Hospital, St Thomas’ Hospital, and St George’s Hospital. He holds the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in Cardiology and is listed on the GMC Specialist Register.
His subspecialty focus is heart failure, cardiac devices, and complex arrhythmia — not as interests alongside general cardiology, but as the areas he leads at St George’s and publishes on at Brunel. Patients with a known heart failure diagnosis, those who have been told they may need a pacemaker or defibrillator, and those wanting a second opinion on a complex cardiac decision tend to come through referral.
Cardiac diagnoses carry weight. Not every cardiologist takes the time to make sure a patient actually understands what they have been told. This is something patients notice about Dr Jouhra.
He is recognised by Bupa, AXA, Aviva, and all major health insurers. Self-pay and corporate patients are welcome.

What Dr Fadi Jouhra treats at LSDC Healthcare
Heart failure and cardiomyopathy
Dr Jouhra leads the heart failure and device service at St George’s and brings that subspecialty depth into his private practice. He provides structured assessment and ongoing management for:
- Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
- Dilated, hypertrophic, and other cardiomyopathies
- Medication optimisation — titrating evidence-based therapies to the right doses for each patient
- Biomarker monitoring (BNP/NT-proBNP) and echocardiographic surveillance
- Assessment for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) and implantable defibrillators (ICD)
Patients who have a heart failure diagnosis but feel it has not been fully explained, or who want a second opinion on whether a device is indicated, are well placed to see Dr Jouhra privately.
Palpitations and arrhythmias
Palpitations are a common reason to seek a cardiology opinion and are sometimes dismissed without adequate investigation. Dr Jouhra evaluates palpitations methodically, covering:
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter
- Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
- Ventricular ectopics and ventricular tachycardia
- Bradyarrhythmias and pauses
He can arrange ambulatory ECG monitoring (Holter and longer-term event recorders), advise on anticoagulation where AF is confirmed, and refer for electrophysiology study or ablation when appropriate.
Chest pain and coronary disease
Chest pain needs a proper assessment, not a reassurance that it is probably nothing. Dr Jouhra provides rapid-access chest pain evaluation including:
- Clinical history and 12-lead ECG at consultation
- Troponin and relevant blood tests
- Assessment of likelihood of coronary artery disease
- Referral for CT coronary angiography (CTCA) or stress imaging where indicated
- Onward pathway to invasive investigation if required
Same-week appointments are available for patients with new or changing chest pain.
Hypertension and cardiovascular risk
High blood pressure is underestimated as a long-term cardiac risk. Dr Jouhra assesses:
- Newly diagnosed or poorly controlled hypertension
- Resistant hypertension — where blood pressure remains high despite multiple medications
- Secondary causes of hypertension where clinically appropriate
- 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)
- Structured cardiovascular risk reduction including lifestyle guidance and medication review
Cardiac devices — pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT
Dr Jouhra has subspecialty expertise in cardiac device therapy and advises on:
- Pacemakers — indications, suitability, and post-implant follow-up
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) — for patients at risk of sudden cardiac death
- Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) — for heart failure patients with electrical dyssynchrony
- Optimisation for patients already living with an implanted device
- Second opinions on device recommendations before proceeding with implantation
Syncope and blackouts
Unexplained collapse or blackouts require a structured cardiac assessment. Dr Jouhra evaluates:
- Vasovagal syncope and situational faints
- Arrhythmic causes requiring ambulatory monitoring
- Structural cardiac causes
- Autonomic dysfunction
This includes ambulatory ECG monitoring, tilt-table testing referral where indicated, and collaboration with neurology where the picture is mixed.
Preventive cardiology and cardiac screening
Dr Jouhra provides cardiovascular risk assessment and cardiac screening for:
- Executives seeking a baseline cardiac assessment or annual review
- Athletes — including pre-competition cardiac screening and investigation of exertional symptoms such as chest tightness or palpitations on exercise
- Patients with a strong family history of heart disease or sudden cardiac death
- Individuals with multiple cardiovascular risk factors who want a structured prevention plan
Valvular heart disease and breathlessness
Dr Jouhra assesses breathlessness and structural cardiac conditions including:
- Aortic stenosis and regurgitation
- Mitral valve disease
- Tricuspid and pulmonary valve conditions
- Unexplained breathlessness where cardiac and respiratory causes need to be distinguished
Echocardiography is coordinated through partner imaging centres, with results reviewed and explained directly by Dr Jouhra at follow-up.
Second opinions
Second opinions are available for:
- Heart failure diagnosis and management, particularly where current treatment does not feel right
- Device therapy decisions (CRT, ICD, pacemaker) before proceeding
- Complex arrhythmia management
- Coronary disease risk stratification and investigation planning
- Any cardiology diagnosis where you want a clear, independent view
Tests and procedures that may be arranged
Where clinically appropriate, appointments with Dr Jouhra can be supported by:
- 12-lead ECG — performed at consultation
- Ambulatory ECG monitoring — 24-hour Holter and extended event recorders
- 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)
- Echocardiography — via trusted partner imaging centres, results reviewed by Dr Jouhra
- CT coronary angiography (CTCA) — for chest pain and coronary disease assessment
- Stress imaging — exercise or pharmacological stress testing where indicated
- Blood tests — troponin, BNP/NT-proBNP, lipid profile, renal function, thyroid function
- Cardiac device review — for existing pacemaker, ICD, or CRT patients
All investigations depend on individual clinical assessment.
What to expect at your consultation
Your appointment with Dr Fadi Jouhra at LSDC Healthcare covers:
- A thorough cardiac history — symptoms, duration, triggers, family history, and relevant risk factors
- Review of any prior ECGs, echocardiograms, blood tests, or previous cardiology letters you bring along
- A clear explanation of what the symptoms suggest, what needs investigating, and in what order
- A discussion of your options, including what happens if tests come back normal and what happens if they do not
Dr Jouhra’s consultations are unhurried. The aim is that you leave with a specific plan, not a vague recommendation to come back in six months.
Virtual follow-up appointments are available for results review, medication adjustments, and ongoing monitoring where an in-person visit is not needed.
Common booking scenarios
Patients often book because:
- “I have chest pain and I want a proper plan, quickly.”
- “I have been told different things about my coronary disease and I need clarity.”
- “My blood pressure is still high despite medication and I want a structured approach.”
- “I have palpitations and I want to know what is benign and what is not.”
- “I want a second opinion before agreeing to angiography or a stent.”
