About
Dr Giovanni Luigi De Maria is a Consultant Cardiologist at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. He is an expert in General and Interventional Cardiology, with a special focus on Coronary Interventions.
His main subspecialty is the management of cardiac chest pain. He provides percutaneous treatment with stenting for epicardial coronary disease and diagnoses and treats coronary microvascular disease. He also leads the clinical programme for coronary sinus reducer implants for the treatment of refractory angina at the Oxford Heart Centre.
He also has expertise in the management of arterial hypertension, with a special focus on patients with refractory/resistant hypertension, with the provision of additional therapeutic options such as renal denervation.
He qualified in Medicine with an MD in 2008 and completed General Cardiology training at Gemelli Hospital in Rome in 2014. He then undertook a clinical fellowship in Interventional Cardiology at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and an NIHR-BRC fellowship at the University of Oxford. In 2019, he got his PhD in Clinical, Cellular, and Molecular Research at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome.
He leads the Acute Cardiovascular sub-theme at the Oxford-BRC and is the clinical lead of the Research Catheterization Laboratory of the Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Intervention Centre(AMIIC) at the University of Oxford.
He teaches and trains junior doctors and supervises for PhD students and National and International clinical fellows. He also serves as a faculty member on numerous international Cardiology courses and has appeared as a speaker and live operator at several key national and international conferences and workshops.

Research
Dr De Maria has an extensive background in research and continues to be involved in a number of key clinical trials as Chief Investigator or National or Local Principal Investigator. His research activity aims to analyse the mechanisms underlying incomplete and suboptimal reperfusion (with a special focus on patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction) and to identify indices that can guide the implementation of novel therapeutic technologies to improve the outcome of patients with coronary disease. More recently, his research programme has extended to explore novel device-based solutions for the treatment of resistant hypertension and refractory angina (including microvascular dysfunction).
He has authored over 160 academic articles appearing in international, highly impacting peer-reviewed journals and several book chapters. He currently serves as associate editor for Frontiers Cardiovascular Medicine—Cardiovascular Imaging and reviews various other academic journals, including JACC Cardiovascular Imaging, EuroIntervention, Catheterization & Cardiovascular Interventions, and the International Journal of Cardiology.
