Summary
Speaker: Dr Justin Davies, Consultant Cardiologist, Imperial College London.
Justin Davies discusses how new tecniques, advances in electronics and computer processing power are shaping the future of coronary physiology.
Key learning points:
- Need for for improved techniques with changing patient demographics
- Development of co-registration systems to integrate of coronary physiological and angiography
- New indices dervied from measuring distance in addition to pressure ratio
Simple Education, is a leading provider of coronary physiology and intracoronary imaging courses to aid treatment of complex coronary artery disease.

Dr Justin Davies is a honorary interventional cardiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College NHS Trust, London. After training at Imperial College, he won a prestigious BHF research fellowship to study arterial haemodynamics. Since then he has continued to work on the development of mathematical algorithms to aid understanding of large artery physiology and to develop new tools to assess arterial disease. The holder of several patents, he has published widely in the field of hypertension, coronary and large artery physiology and is the winner of many national and international awards. He has several international collaborations, and is the developer of iFR and the co-principal investigator of the ADVISE studies, the DEFINE-FLAIR, ORBITA and DEFINE-PCI studies. Justin also has an interest in renal denervation, and has lead the first-in-man studies to evaluate the safety of this technique to patients with chronic systolic heart failure (REACH studies).
