Gosia Wamil, MD, MSc, PhD, FRCP, FESC
Consultant Cardiologist
“Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to cardiology, garnering a breadth of experience and knowledge in this field. My approach centres on patient well-being, combining the latest medical advancements and, in particular, noninvasive imaging techniques with genuine care to achieve the best outcomes for those I have the privilege to treat. Understanding each patient's unique circumstances is crucial to me, and I am committed to crafting tailored treatment plans that resonate with their needs.”
Expertise
Dr Gosia Wamil is an Oxford-trained, internationally recognised consultant cardiologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic. Her clinical specialities are heart failure and the precise application of noninvasive cardiac imaging techniques, including cardiovascular MRI, cardiac CT and advanced echocardiography (trans-oesophageal echocardiography, 3D echocardiography and stress echo).
Dr Wamil's extensive expertise has been honed through years of dedicated practice and specialised training, with patients frequently asking her for a second opinion. She is known for her cardiac MRI, CT and advanced echocardiography expertise and can often combine them in transformational ways to treat complex cardiovascular cases.
