Dr Lisa Anderson is a Consultant Cardiologist at St George’s Hospital, London.

She chairs the NHS England Heart Failure Expert Advisory Group and the ESC HFA Women in HF Taskforce.

Dr Anderson led the project to open the UK's first Acute Heart Failure Unit and wrote the proposal for the NCEPOD enquiry into deaths in Acute Heart Failure (2018).

She has acted as clinical expert for NICE Technology Appraisals (TA10946, TA10942, TA388) and the BMA Expert Review Group for TA267. Her research interests include V122I TTR cardiac amyloid, cardiorenal HF and acute heart failure.

Dr Anderson’s subspecialty is CMR. She developed a T2* sequence for the detection of cardiac iron, and the paper remains one of the most cited in the field. CMR T2* led rapidly to 70% mortality reduction in Thalassaemia patients in the UK. The T2* sequence is now the International Standard and installed on all CMR scanners from all vendors.
