Mer om författaren

Javier Escaned MD PhD FESC is Head of Section (Interventional Cardiology) at Hospital Clinico San Carlos, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Complutense University (Madrid, Spain). He trained as a cardiologist the United Kingdom (Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Birmingham and Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry) before moving to the Thoraxcenter / Rotterdam (The Netherlands), where he obtained his PhD degree in 1994. He is author of more than 250 scientific articles, books and book chapters on different aspects of interventional cardiology, imaging and physiology. He is co-editor with Patrick Serruys of the textbook “Coronary Stenosis. Imaging, Structure and Physiology”, whose new edition was launched in May 2015. Current positions in scientific societies include: board member (treasurer) of European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), nucleus member of the ESC Working Group on Pathophysiology and Microcirculation, and co-director of EuroPCR. In 2014 he served as director of the ESC International Summit on Coronary Microcirculation and Heart Disease. Recent or on-going international multicentre trials in which he has a principal investigator role include: ADVISE II, SYNTAX II, PILOT SECRET, SHEAR STENT and DEFINE-FLAIR. Some of his additional interests are philosophy, education and music.
