Professor Mamas Mamas joined Keele University in 2015 as Professor of Cardiology and is also an Honorary Professor of Population Health at the University of Manchester.

Professor Mamas trained in Medince at the University of Oxford, undertaking an MA in Physiological Sciences in 1994 and a DPhil in Physiological sciences funded by the British Heart Foundation from 1994-1997. He completed his clinical training at the University of Oxford in 2000 and undertook house jobs in Oxford's Nuffield Department of Medicine and Cardiology. He completed his Senior House Officer posts at The Royal Brompton Hospital and The Hammersmith Hospital in London, followed by a year at the Royal Salford Hospital.

Appointed to a National Training number in Cardiology in the North West Deanery (2004), Professor Mamas was subsequently appointed as Clinical Lecturer in Cardiology at the University of Manchester (2006). He completed his specialist training in cardiology in 2012 and was appointed as a Senior Clinical Lecturer and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at the University of Manchester in 2012, and a Professor of Cardiology at Keele University/Honorary Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at the Royal Stoke Hospital, UHNM in 2015.

Professor Mamas is a consultant interventional cardiologist, treating patients with underlying coronary artery with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in both the elective and emergency setting.  

Professor Mamas is an Associate Editor of  Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions  and a board member of the European Association of Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI). He is the National Audit lead of the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS) and a member of BCIS council.

Research interests

Professor Mamas leads the Keele Cardiovascular Research Group whose aim is to deliver high-quality, cutting-edge big data cardiology research linking electronic health data from patients with cardiovascular disease to inform the diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcomes of real-world patients with cardiovascular disease.  

Using specialist cardiovascular datasets from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR) and primary care via the Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD), as well as international datasets derived from the United States including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Global Burden of Disease as well as the National Inpatient Sample and National Readmissions Dataset from the United States Healthcare Cost and Utilisation Project (HCUP), his groups’ aim is to improve the care of patients with cardiovascular disease.

Professor Mamas’s program of work is cross thematic, with work around interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, cardio-oncology, cardio-obstetrics and focuses around studying clinical outcomes, complications and assessment of treatment efficacy of interventions / medical treatments using real world data derived from the national electronic healthcare records of patients with cardiovascular disease, as well as prognostic modelling leading development of risk stratification tools used for national reporting.
