Dr De Silva is a highly regarded consultant interventional cardiologist practising in London who has a breadth of experience in general and interventional cardiology. Dr De Silva's areas of expertise are in the management of coronary artery disease, chest pain, angina and heart attacks. Dr De Silva's undergraduate medical training was at St Bartholomew's and The Royal London Medical School. He undertook general and interventional cardiology training at St. Thomas' and King's College Hospital's in London. He was awarded a PhD by King's College London for his research on coronary physiology in the setting of heart attacks. Dr De Silva also undertook an international fellowship in complex coronary intervention at the Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia.

Dr De Silva’s procedural expertise is in coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation, specifically in high-risk and complex patient groups utilising contemporary adjunctive devices such as rotational and laser atherectomy, and intra-vascular lithotripsy. Dr De Silva routinely used coronary physiology and intra-coronary imaging modalities to guide and optimise procedural and patient outcomes. Dr De Silva is also interested in adoption of emerging technology’s and techniques in the treatment of coronary artery disease, such as the potential implementation of robotics in PCI procedures.

Dr De Silva continues to be actively involved in research and is an honorary senior lecturer at King's College London. His research interests include coronary physiology, novel imaging techniques in the management of coronary artery disease, and the use of mechanical circulatory support in high-risk, complex patients. He has published over 50-peer reviewed articles and has contributed to several books. He is frequently invited to speak or be on panel discussions at conferences at both, a national, and international level.
