Description

Barts Heart Centre (BHC) is Europe’s largest cardiac centre. It houses one of the world’s largest cardiac MRI services along with all other advanced imaging modalities utilizing 3 cardiac MRI scanners, a dedicated cardiac CT scanner and 10 echocardiography labs. Specialised cardiology services include the internationally-recognised cardio-oncology and heart muscle disease services, the regional infective endocarditis service and the adult congenital heart disease service. The advanced heart failure service includes a VAD programme, ECMO service on the specialised heart-failure ITU and CRT device clinics. It is also the heart attack centre for the region and also provides invasive and structural cardiology services and emergency arrythmia services as well as ablation therapies in 10 cardiac cath labs.

CMR Research Program

CMR Research Centers

Brief description of research programme:

The focus of our research centre is to understand the heart and use this to improve the lives of patients. We develop new tests and measurement techniques linking technical development to human variation (health, rare and common diseases) from idea to global delivery. Examples include LGE, T1, T2, ECV mapping, perfusion mapping, AI analytics, new metrology/QC frameworks, rapid CMR and CMR for pacemakers. We are one of the most innovative global research groups in cardiology. We aim to change how people think about the heart and accelerate delivery across boundaries (clinical disciplines, basic science, global healthcare).
