Dr Thirugnanam works in complex coronary intervention, including CTO PCI and unprotected left main stenting, and in structural heart procedures, including TAVR. He founded the Academy of Elite Doctors and has written more than 70 cardiology books for doctors, students and the public.

Questions doctors ask
Who are these programmes for?
Registered medical practitioners and doctors in training. The flagship programme is for non-cardiologists; the specialist tracks are for cardiology fellows and board candidates.
Are the certificates recognised qualifications?
They are certificates of completion and assessment from the Academy of Elite Doctors. They are not degrees and do not replace specialist training.
Can I learn around my clinical work?
Yes. Lectures are short and recorded, live sessions are recorded, and the flagship programme needs 3–4 hours a week.
Can my hospital or college enrol a group?
Yes. Group licences are available for teams of up to 10 doctors; see the programme page.
The founding cohort starts on 23 November
