Dr Amaral has 20 years of clinical experience and trained at internationally renowned centres of excellence, such as King’s College Hospital and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
He does not do a one-size-fits-all approach! Dr Amaral provides personalised care that is specifically tailored to your needs.
He specialises in 4 areas:
• Chest Discomfort/Pain

• Heart check-ups (including tests before having an operation)
Feeling that discomfort in your chest or having trouble catching your breath? Does your heart skip a beat? Don't wait around and wonder…Dr Amaral can help!
This is how he will work with you:
1. Dr Amaral won't rush you - he will listen. He will ask questions about your symptoms, lifestyle, and family history to understand what's going on.
2. We’ll get to the bottom of your problem: You might need tests like blood work, an ECG, or even an advanced scan. He will use his expertise to figure out the cause.
3. Dr Amaral will make a plan with you: Once we know what's happening, he will explain everything clearly. Together, you’ll decide on the best treatment, whether it's medication, lifestyle changes, or even a procedure.
A consultation with Dr Amaral will get you the answers you need. You'll walk away knowing exactly what's going on, what treatment options are on the table (and what they mean for you), and how to keep your heart happy and healthy for years to come.
Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your heart. For more information, please visit Dr Amaral’s website: www.thelondoncardiologist.co.uk
