LinkedIn Profile

Steffen Petersen is a Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London and a Consultant Cardiologist and Clinical Director for Research at Barts Heart Centre, Barts Health NHS Trust. He is also the Cardiovascular Programme Director of UCLPartners Academic Medical Centre. He is President-Elect of the European Society of Cardiology's (ESC) European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). He is the chief specialty editor of Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine’s Cardiovascular Imaging section. He holds an MBCHB and MDRES equivalent (Dr med.) from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, a DPHIL (OXON) from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Oxford, an MPH from Harvard School of Public Health and an MSc in Health Economics, Outcomes and Management in Cardiovascular Science from the London School of Economics. He is level 3 certified for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). He has been actively involved in cardiovascular magnetic resonance since 1998 and he reports over 1000 cardiac adult MRI scans each year.

Research

Group members

Jane Batchelor (Centre Administrator); Francesca Pugliese (Reader); Guy Lloyd (Hon Senior Clinical Lecturer); Mohammed Khanji (Hon Senior Clinical Lecturer); Aaron Lee (Bioinformatician); Marc Miquel (Physicist); Jackie Cooper (Statistician); Maudrian Burton (nurse lead for Barts BioResource).

Summary

His research interests include clinical trials using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), cost-effectiveness analysis related to cardiac imaging and primary prevention, large-scale population-based studies using CMR (UK Biobank cardiac imaging lead) and electronic health record research that incorporates cardiac imaging data. His is Principal and Chief Investigator of the Barts BioResource. Several projects of his current research projects involve artificial intelligence and machine learning and benefit from The Alan Turing Institute affiliation. UK Biobank requires analysis of 100,000 cardiac MR scans: automated image segmentation and image quality control are current examples of ongoing work. The Barts BioResource (>34,000 consented patients) allows research using multi-dimensional healthcare data research. He will develop and validate a number of AI applications in cardiovascular research.
