Memberships

• Consultant Cardiologist & Director of Research, Surgery, Cancer & Cardiovascular Division, Imperial College
• ealthcare NHS Trust
• Professor of Cardiology, National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London
• Director of the National Institute Health Research Cardiovascular Health Informatics Collaborative

Professor Mayet leads a clinical research team at Imperial developing new approaches to patient assessment and treatment. He brings new research discoveries rapidly to his patient’s clinical care.

Professor Mayet’s research interests are in the clinical development of new technologies for assessing and treating the heart and arteries and understanding how we can fine-tune current treatments to improve outcomes. 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).
