Specifically, he has interests in the physiology of coronary flow and blood pressure as well as the factors associated with the development of atheroma, the fatty deposits that cause blockages of blood vessels. He has a longstanding interest in cardiac structural and functional variations in health and disease, particularly in hypertension and athletic training.

He has over 200 peer-reviewed publications, many in major journals and has been invited to speak nationally and internationally in the fields of hypertension, echocardiography, coronary physiology, cardiac structure and function, heart failure and coronary artery disease. The “H index” is used as a way to measure the impact of research. Prof Mayet’s “H index” is 55 (over 40 is regarded as outstanding).
