Otar Lazariashvili

Associate Specialist in Cardiology at the Royal Devon hospital, experienced in imaging cardiology and managing complex cardiac conditions.

My expertise lies in advanced echocardiography, including transoesophageal, stress echocardiography, transthoracic imaging and cardiac MRI.

I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver comprehensive care for patients with valvular heart disease, heart failure and resistant hypertension, leveraging specialised skills to improve diagnostic precision and outcomes.

Previously, I completed MD in Cardiology (heart failure) at the Royal Holloway University of London and CMR fellowship at Guys and St Thomas hospital, earning skills in cutting-edge imaging techniques and leading patient-focused initiatives.
