An Italian cardiologist working in London, Francesco Lo Monaco, was one of the twenty-four doctors who on the 29 th of last November received a “European Award in medicine” during an evening at the Ritz Hotel in
Paris.
The Awards (one for every medical specialty) have been created by the Professional and Business Excelence Institute, based in Coruna, Spain.
Dr. Lo Monaco – recently appointed “medico di riferimento” by the Italian Embassy in London (official doctor for the Embassy’s Personnel) – is expert in clinical cardiology and cardiac imaging, particularly in echocardiograms, electrocardiograms (ECG), stress tests and heart check-ups. In 1997 he obtained his medical degree summa cum Laude from the Pavia School of Medicine, Italy.
In 2003 he specialised in Cardiology from the same University and worked as a Cardiologist in Milan until
2006.
Then he moved to New York City, where he participated in research in the “cardiac stem cells” field and completed a fellowship in Cardiovascular Physiology at the New York Medical College. While staying in the
US, he sat all the American medical exams, successfully passed all three US Medical Licensing Examination steps, and secured the Degree in Medicine recognised in the US.
In 2009, he moved to London, UK, and served as a Cardiologist at the Chelsea and Westminster NHS Trust.
At the Imperial College School of Medicine in London, he has served as an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer and Undergraduate Tutor since 2013 to deliver lectures to medical students and Cardiology trainees.
Throughout his career, Dr Lo Monaco attended important Cardiology conferences across Europe and the US to stay abreast of the latest and emerging developments or trends in his field. Moreover, he established a company in 2015 to conduct live lectures to facilitate and support Italian doctors passing the United States Medical Licensing examination. He has also taught British medical students to pass the PACES examination to become qualified doctors.
After being invited as a visiting Professor in Cardiology by one of the most well-known academic institutions in China, he made regular trips from 2016, during which he taught Echocardiography to Chinese Cardiologists
and he has been one of the authors of their Echocardiography book. He gave an important contribution in creating Echocardiography courses which run twice per annum.
In 2016, he set up his private practice in order to make private cardiac care more affordable. Soon after this, patients recognised him as the highest-rated Cardiologist in London. His all 5-star reviews on Google are a
testament to his patient-centred approach and how he believe she should be of service to his patients.
