Dr. Stuart Hood is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow, affiliated with the School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health and the Cardiology Department at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. His expertise focuses on coronary microvascular dysfunction, myocardial infarction pathophysiology, and interventional cardiology. He has contributed to numerous studies on fractional flow reserve (FFR), stent optimization, and coronary artery disease management.
Research interests include the interplay between coronary microvascular function and atherosclerosis, as well as outcomes in patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries. His work integrates clinical trials (e.g., CorMicA, TARGET-FFR) and imaging techniques (e.g., MRI, cardiac CT) to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care. Key themes in his publications address post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes, risk stratification in acute myocardial infarction, and the role of systemic microvascular dysfunction in angina.
His articles highlight advancements in PCI optimization, prognostic biomarkers for myocardial infarction, and the impact of diabetes on coronary thrombus formation. Dr. Hood collaborates with institutions like the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society and has presented at major conferences such as ACC.18 and the British Society of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials. His academic contributions are centered on clinical research and translational cardiology, with a focus on improving therapeutic strategies for coronary artery disease and post-infarction care.
