About Marc Dweck

Chair of Clinical Cardiology, British Heart Foundation Senior Clinical Research Fellow, and Consultant Cardiologist at the University of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Heart Centre. My research program is centred around the use of multi-modality imaging (echocardiography, CT, MRI, PET) to improve our understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology and ultimately to improve patient assessment, care and outcomes. I am Vice President Elect the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), Chair of EACVI Accreditation for Computed Tomography and lead the NIHR-BHF Working Group on Heart Valve Disease. My research has focused on three major areas i) coronary atherosclerosis ii) aortic stenosis and cardiomyopathy (352 manuscripts, H-index 65) and has focused upon the delivery of well conducted clinical trials.
