معرفی
Professor Gerry McCann is a NIHR Research Professor in Experimental Medicine and Professor of Cardiac Imaging at the University of Leicester. He leads the Cardiovascular theme at the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre and previously chaired the British Society of Cardiovascular MRI research group. His research focuses on MRI innovations, clinical trials for heart disease, and understanding cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes and post-COVID-19 populations. Key areas include aortic stenosis management, myocardial perfusion, and equity in medical imaging access.

- Affiliations: NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre, British Society of Cardiovascular MRI, PhOSP-COVID cardiovascular working group, East Midlands Cardiovascular Clinical Research Network.
Research Interests: Professor McCann's work spans advanced cardiac imaging (MRI), evaluating novel diagnostic tools for coronary artery disease, and studying the pathophysiology of aortic stenosis and diabetes-related cardiac complications. He emphasizes translational research, integrating clinical trials with technical innovations like AI-driven image analysis.
Article Trends: Recent publications address imaging biomarkers for cardiovascular risk stratification, sex-based differences in cardiac outcomes, and the long-term effects of COVID-19 on heart function. Studies also explore optimal management strategies for asymptomatic patients and the implementation of AI in healthcare systems.
Grants/Advising: Leads multiple trials (e.g., CE-MARC 3, DIASTOLIC) and collaborates on national initiatives like the COSMIC study. Advises on clinical guidelines and imaging protocols.
Labs/Teams: Central to the NIHR Leicester BRC's cardiovascular theme and the PhOSP-COVID initiative, focusing on post-hospitalization cardiac recovery and multi-organ injury.
