Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Robin Choudhury is Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford and a practising cardiologist. His clinical expertise is in the treatment of heart attack and he also runs a laboratory working on molecular and cellular mechanisms of heart injury and repair. He has a particular interest in the role of 'inflammation' in cardiovascular diseases. He is a Fellow of Balliol College and of the Royal College of Physicians, and is a former Wellcome Senior Research Fellow. He has published over 200 academic papers and book chapters. He is co-editor of the Handbook of Cardiology Emergencies (OUP); and contributor to the Oxford Textbook of Medicine (OUP). In 2013, he led a group at the Oxford Acute Vascular Imaging Centre (of which he was founding director) using MRI to test, for the first time in a living subject, the 500-year-old theories of Leonardo da Vinci on the movement of blood across the aortic valve.
