Erica Dall'Armellina

Dr Erica Dall'Armellina serves as a Senior Lecturer at the School of Medicine, University of Leeds, and holds an Honorary Consultant Cardiologist position. She leads research in quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with international recognition in cardiovascular MRI techniques.

Her academic background includes:

• Medical degree and Cardiology specialization, University of Trieste, Italy
• 2-year Cardiac MR Fellowship, Wake Forest University, USA
• DPhil in CMR applications for acute myocardial infarction, University of Oxford (2012)

Her research focuses on clinical translation of quantitative CMR for ischemic heart disease, particularly diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to predict cardiac remodeling post-infarction and applications in acute coronary syndromes. Current projects target DTI biomarkers for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction outcomes.

Scientific recognition includes:

• British Heart Foundation Intermediate Clinical Research Fellowship (2013, extended 2018)

She supervises PhD/MRes students and has trained numerous UK/international clinicians. Major grants include BHF FS/13/71/30378 on DTI remodeling prediction and Heart Research UK RG 2668/18/20 on IVIM DTI in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Active in Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, Biomedical Imaging Science group, and Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Research Centre, she collaborates on advanced imaging translation.
