Dr Malik has a TopDoctors Gold Award. He also is regularly rated 5 star on Doctify. He has been awarded a clinical excellence award by the NHS.

He is actively involved in research, particularly coronary artery disease and structural heart disease. He has been involved in conducting many clinical trials, and was a founding member of the International Centre for Circulatory Health (ICCH) – a centre of research excellence at Imperial College London.

Dr Malik research interests are diabetes, heart attack, stroke, TAVI and also left atrial appendage closure. He also leads the Imperial Cardiovascular Simulation Training (iCAST) programme, with world-class immersive behavioural simulation to aid patient safety.

His current research is focused on interventional cardiology: the role of hole in the heart closure (PFO closure) in migraine and stroke, the prevention of angina and heart attacks using coronary angioplasty (PCI, or PTCA and STENTS) and surgery. To see Dr Malik performing a PFO closure, watch this video on YouTube.

Dr Malik is also part of the largest trial in TAVI ever done in the UK: BHF-PROTECT-TAVI, to assess if we can reduce stroke risk in TAVI procedures. He is on the steering committee for major international clinical trials in these fields. He gives invited lectures at many international meetings each year.
