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 ouse Officer posts at The Royal Brompton Hospital and The Hammersmith Hospital in London, followed by a year at the Royal Salford Hospital.

Professor Mamas is an Associate Editor of Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions and a member of the E-Cardiology working group of the European Society of Cardiology. He is also a member of the Heart Research UK medical review panel and the NIHR interventional procedures review panel as well as sitting on several safety endpoint committees of several national randomised controlled trials. 

Research and scholarship

Professor Mamas' research group main interest is the outcomes research using large-scale national and international electronic healthcare records 'Big Data' from patients with cardiovascular disease. Our work focusses around the analysis of large datasets with electronic health records derived from hundreds of millions of patients from primary, secondary and tertiary care. 

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 including the National Inpatient Sample and National Readmissions Dataset from the United States Healthcare Cost and Utilisation Project (HCUP), our aims is to improve the care of patients with cardiovascular disease. 

His research group has a particular interest in percutaneous coronary intervention, acute coronary syndromes, structural cardiac interventions, heart failure and comorbidity. Their work focusses around the assessment of the treatment efficacy, capturing rare complications from cardiovascular treatments/interventions, studying long-term outcomes of patients with cardiovascular diseases, and developing risk stratification models for benchmarking and risk stratification. 

For example, they have developed the national Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation risk score to allow for risk stratification in these procedures on behalf of the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society. 

Professor Mamas has published over 250 manuscripts. 

Teaching

Professor Mamas leads and co-supervises a number of doctoral and masters students. He is also a clinical and educational supervisor to a number of junior doctors and specialist registrars.
