Doctor Pier Giorgio Masci

Pier-Giorgio Masci is a Clinical Senior Lecturer at King’s College London and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. His clinical and research expertise focus on advanced Cardiovascular MRI within the Cardiovascular Imaging Department — one of the largest and faster-growing imaging centres worldwide. Trained in Cardiovascular MRI at KU Leuven (Belgium), Dr Masci completed his PhD in 2015 with pioneering work on the clinical applications of Cardiovascular MRI in acute myocardial infarction. Over the past decade, he has developed an internationally recognised research programme focused on imaging-derived biomarkers across the heart–brain axis, cardiovascular ageing, and valvular heart disease (particularly mitral valve prolapse). His work integrates epidemiology, data science, and machine learning to uncover mechanisms of disease and improve clinical decision-making.
