Mariusz Tomaniak

Mariusz Tomaniak is a Researcher in the Department of Cardiology at Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in interventional cardiology and advanced coronary imaging techniques. His work bridges clinical cardiology with biomedical engineering to refine diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for coronary artery disease.

His research focuses on fractional flow reserve (FFR) methodologies, intravascular imaging (particularly optical coherence tomography and near-infrared spectroscopy), and hemodynamic factors influencing plaque progression. Tomaniak investigates how wall shear stress affects lipid-rich plaque development and validates angiography-based FFR as a less invasive alternative to pressure-wire measurements.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a dominant trend toward multimodal imaging integration and angiography-derived physiological assessment, as evidenced by the FAST study series. These works demonstrate significant clinical impact through high citation counts (20+ Scopus citations for multiple papers) and widespread dissemination via 6+ news outlets and substantial social media engagement (22+ X posts, 1+ Facebook pages).

Tomaniak maintains active collaborations within Erasmus MC's Cardiology department and international research networks, contributing to large-scale clinical trials that translate imaging insights into improved percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes.
