The webinar focuses on cardiac MRI guideline indications in patients with cardiovascular disease. It uses clinical cases to illustrate the role of cardiac MRI in identifying a final diagnosis, guide management and inform diagnosis. The spectrum of pathologies discussed spans from ischemic heart disease, chest pain, myocarditis, heart failure and various non-ischemic cardiomyopathic process, as well as hypertension.
Professor Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci Background
Professor Bucciarelli-Ducci received her undergraduate degree (2001) and postgraduate fellowship in cardiology (2005) from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy.
She then undertook courses and fellowships at Northwestern University in Chicago, University of Zurich, Harvard Medical School, Oxford University and more recently an MSc in Health Economics from LSE. She worked at the Royal Brompton Hospital as a senior CMR clinical and research fellow in 2006-2010 and in 2012 she was awarded a PhD in CMR from the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College.
She was appointed a consultant cardiologist at the Bristol Heart Institute and University of Bristol where she was headhunted in 2010 to build the CMR programme. In 2021 she then returned to Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals to lead the CMR clinical academic programme at Harefield.
