Research designed to improve real clinical decisions.
Exercise training, AI-assisted cardiovascular imaging, smart monitoring, MRI access for device patients and national quality improvement.
From methods to implementation.
Exercise and cardiovascular ageing
British Heart Foundation-funded doctoral research examined first-time marathon training using advanced cardiovascular techniques. The study found improvements in blood pressure and arterial stiffness, equivalent to a reduction in vascular age, and received international media coverage.
AI for cardiac imaging
Research applying machine learning and automated analysis to cardiac MRI has sought to improve measurement speed, consistency and clinical risk prediction. The role of AI is framed as decision support with clinical oversight.
MRI My Pacemaker and Pace MRI
Service development and digital pathways aimed at reducing the barriers that prevent people with pacemakers and defibrillators from receiving clinically important MRI scans.
National quality and service responsibility
As clinical lead for the National Audit of Cardiac Rhythm Management, Dr Bhuva helps monitor and improve the quality of device and ablation procedures across the UK. Further service work includes digital remote monitoring and non-invasive cardiac radiotherapy research.
Innovation is valuable when it changes access, safety or judgement.
Research credentials are not used to imply that every patient needs an advanced test. The practical value is the ability to understand complex evidence, explain uncertainty and recognise when a newer pathway can solve a real clinical problem.
Dr Bhuva remains an active clinical cardiologist with a regular cardiac-device practice. His research, grants and national roles support that clinical work.
