ABOUT
Dr Thomas Heseltine MBChB(Hons), MRCP (UK), PhD is a UK Consultant Cardiologist with expertise in cardiovascular imaging and preventative cardiology. He provides private cardiology consultations for patients experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness and blackouts, as well as for those seeking assessment of cardiovascular risk.
​
Dr Heseltine practices at Spire Murrayfield Hospital Wirral, where patients have access to a full range of cardiac investigations including echocardiography, CT coronary angiography, cardiac MRI and ambulatory ECG monitoring.
His approach focuses on careful clinical assessment, accurate diagnosis and clear explanation of results, helping patients understand their heart health and the most appropriate next steps.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr Heseltine has a specialist interest in advanced cardiac imaging, particularly cardiac MRI and CT coronary angiography, which are increasingly used to diagnose heart disease at an early stage and guide personalised treatment.
He is actively involved in cardiovascular research and imaging, contributing to developments in the understanding and prevention of heart disease.
Dr Heseltine believes that cardiology care should be clear, thorough and reassuring.
Each consultation is designed to provide patients with a detailed assessment of their symptoms and cardiovascular risk, together with a personalised plan for investigation, treatment and long-term heart health.

Publications & Research
Research & Publications
As part of my commitment to delivering the highest standard of cardiovascular care, I am actively involved in clinical research and academic cardiology.
​
My research focuses on advanced cardiac imaging, cardiovascular prevention, and improving risk prediction through technologies such as CT coronary angiography and cardiac MRI. I am particularly interested in identifying early markers of heart disease and using imaging to guide personalised treatment strategies.
​
I regularly contribute to peer-reviewed medical journals and present research at national and international cardiology conferences.
My work aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday patient care — ensuring that the treatments and investigations I recommend are grounded in the latest evidence.
