His clinical special interests include:
Hypertension and the Heart
Prof Mayet's specialist interest in "hypertension and the heart" started in 1992 when he was cardiology research fellow in the world renowned Hypertension Unit at St Mary's Hospital, London. Since that time he has had extensive clinical experience managing patients with hypertension and the complications of hypertension in the Imperial Hospital Group in West London. He has also led wide-ranging research programmes, assessing the effects of different treatments on the heart of patients with hypertension, and devising new ways of assessing the blood flow in the arteries of patients with hypertension and heart disease.
Covid and the Heart
Prof Mayet is a member of the Imperial College Healthcare Team assessing the long term effects of Covid-19 on patients. This has included cardiac assessment of patients following hospital admission with Covid-19. He also leads the National Institute of Healthcare Research Cardiovascular Covid programme which is a collaboration bringing together clinical data on patients with Covid-19 from several hospitals across the country to help improve the assessment and treatment of patients who have had Covid-19.
Cardiac Screening
Prof Mayet has been investigating the effects of exercise on the heart since 1992, initially in collaboration with the British Olympic Medical Centre. He has over 25 years of experience screening athletes for cardiovascular disease, including as a member of the Football Association Cardiac Consensus Panel, and has performed cardiac assessments for previous England world cup squads and Premier League football clubs. He is expert at assessing patients' future risk of heart attacks and strokes, whether they currently have symptoms or are just concerned about what their risk may be.
Chest Pain Assessment
Prof Mayet is an expert in chest pain assessment. He set up the Chest Pain assessment unit at St Mary's Hospital, London in 1999 and has led and developed the service since that time. The service expanded rapidly and is currently delivered from several sites across North West London. He has been involved in several research studies on patients with coronary heart disease, which have helped to understand the importance of different ways of assessing patients with chest pain. He emphasises the non-invasive assessment of patients, only advising invasive investigation when there are clear benefits for doing so. He ensures that he assesses patient's future risk of cardiac disease as well as evaluating whether they have any current cardiac problems.
