Dr Moazzeni manages a broad range of adult cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, hypertension and abnormal cardiac investigations.
Preventive cardiology is a major focus of his practice. He has a particular interest in identifying cardiovascular risk that may be overlooked by conventional cholesterol and blood-pressure assessment, including Familial Hypercholesterolaemia, elevated Lipoprotein(a), ApoB-related risk, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and a family history of premature cardiovascular disease.
Where appropriate, assessment may incorporate echocardiography, stress echocardiography, coronary artery calcium scoring or CT coronary angiography. Testing is selected according to the patient's symptoms, clinical findings and overall cardiovascular risk rather than performed routinely.
Dr Moazzeni also has a longstanding interest in clinical workflow design and medical software, and has built a customised clinical database supporting structured documentation, problem tracking and secure correspondence with referring GPs.

A Clear and Individualised Approach
"Good cardiology care is not only about reaching the correct diagnosis. Patients should also understand what their results mean, what can be changed and why a particular treatment or investigation is being recommended."
Dr Moazzeni's approach centres on careful, evidence-based specialist assessment; clear explanations of results and treatment options; investigations selected according to clinical need; thoughtful long-term management; continuity of care with the patient's GP; and respectful, unhurried discussion of concerns and next steps.
