Sven Plein, MD, PhD

Professor of Cardiology
Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, United Kingdom

I am a British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiovascular Imaging at the University of Leeds and a Consultant Cardiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. I lead a large multidisciplinary research group that cuts across basic science, clinical science and clinical trials. We have access to state of the art translational imaging facilities for basic cardiovascular research and clinical studies. Methods we actively develop include:

• Quantitative myocardial perfusion
• 4D flow
• Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging
• MR Spectroscopy
• Parametric mapping

Our main research areas include:

• Ischaemic heart disease (acute and chronic)
• Heart failure
• Cardio-metabolic disease
• Cardio-rheumatology
• Heart valve disease
• Congenital heart disease
