The EACVI Textbook of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

Massimo Lombardi started his involvement in Cardiac Imaging since his degree in 1981. He was involved in Echocardiography and namely in Myocardial perfusion and Echo Stress. In 1993 he moved to Trondheim, Norway where he started his involvement in Cardiac MR. Back to Italy he leaded in Pisa the first fully dedicated cardiac MR centre in Italy at the National Research Council/Regione Toscana G. Monasterio Foundation. Since 2013 he is leading the Multimodality Cardiac Imaging Section at I.R.C.C.S. Policlinico San Donato in Milan, Italy.

Sven Plein is a British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiovascular Imaging at the University of Leeds and Consultant Cardiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Prof Plein studied Medicine in Marburg/Germany and received an MD from the Phillips University in Marburg/Germany in 1995 and my PhD from the University of Leeds in 2004. Prof Pleins main research interest is cardiovascular imaging, with a focus on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).

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. He is also the Cardiovascular Programme Director of UCLPartners Academic Medical Centre. He is Chair-elect, Cardiovascular MRI (Dec 2016-Dec 2018) of the European Society of Cardiology's (ESC) European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). He holds an MBCHB and MDRES equivalent 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. He is level 3 certified for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). He has been actively involved in cardiovascular magnetic resonance since 1998 and reports over 1000 cardiac adult MRI scans each year.

Taking a medical degree followed by a postgraduate degree in cardiology and then a PhD in advanced cardiac imaging Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci stepped into a consultant senior lecturer role immediately after her doctorate. Chiara divides her time equally between two organisations: she is Consultant Senior Lecturer in Cardiology for the University of Bristol and Consultant Cardiologist for the NHS, where she leads the Cardiac MRI Unit of Bristol NIHR Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, based at the Bristol Heart Institute. She is also co-Director of the Clinical Research and Imaging Centre (CRIC) Bristol a state-of-the-art imaging and research facility run in partnership by the University and the NHS. In addition, she has honorary Clinical Senior Clinical Lecturer status at Imperial College London at the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI). She sits on the cardiac MRI specialist taskforce for The European Society for Cardiology.

Professor Emanuela Valsangiacomo Buechel received her medical degree from the University of Zurich in Switzerland. She trained in Pediatric Cardiology in Zurich (University Childrens Hospital) and Toronto (Hospital for Sick Children), where she further specialized in Cardiac Imaging, especially Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR). Since 2002 Professor Valsangiacomo is senior consultant in Pediatric Cardiology at the University Childrens Hospital and lecturer at the University of Zurich. She is head of Cardiac Imaging and leading the CMR and the fetal cardiology programs. Professor Valsangiacomo has a strong clinical background; her research is mainly focused on different clinical applications of CMR. In 2006 she obtained her venia legendi at the University of Zurich with a thesis on the use of CMR in congenital heart disease, and since 2013 she is adjunct Professor for Pediatrics and Pediatric Cardiology.

Cristina Basso is Associate Professor of Cardiovascular Pathology at the University of Padua. She has written 160 papers, of which 70 have appeared in English peer-review journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation, Journal of the American College of Cardiology and American Journal of Pathology. She has given nearly 300 personal lectures and communications at scientific meetings and is co-author of two monographs. She is a fellow and member of Societa Italiana di Cardiologia, Gruppo di Studio Italiano di Patologia Cardiovascolare, the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology, the European Association for Cardiovascular Pathology and European Society of Cardiology (ESC). She has been awarded 10 national and international prizes. Professor Basso graduated with a degree in medicine from the University Medical School in Padua in 1990 and then undertook postgraduate courses in cardiology and a PhD in cardiological sciences.

Victor Ferrari is a Professor of Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Associate Director in Cardiovascular Imaging. Specialising in Ventricular remodelling, Developmental cardiology, Stem cell tracking, and Plaque characterisation, Victor Ferrari is an expert in the field and leader in CMR.
