Dr Sara Hungerford (MBBS, FRACP, FCSANZ, FACC, PhD) is a cardiologist specialising in structural heart disease imaging and a National Heart Foundation Senior Postdoctoral Fellow. She recently completed international fellowships at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, USA, and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, UK. Her research focuses on advanced cardiac imaging techniques to improve understanding and prediction of haemodynamic responses to transcatheter valve interventions.

Professor Susanna Price is a consultant cardiologist and intensivist based at Royal Brompton Hospital. She trained at King's College London, and continued training in cardiology and intensive care medicine at a number of centres, including St Thomas', St George's and Royal Brompton hospitals, London. During her cardiology training, she undertook a fellowship in echocardiography at the Thoraxcenter under Jos Roelandt. On completion of her training, she was awarded the Jill Dando GUCH fellowship, allowing her to train for a further two years in imaging and management of the critically ill grown-up congenital heart disease (GUCH) patients.

Abdul-Rahman Ihdayhid is an Interventional Cardiologist and Cardiac CT Specialist. Director of Cardiologist Research at Fiona Stanley Hospital. Interest in cardiac CT and computational modelling in coronary and structural interventions.

Prof. Jeanette Schulz-Menger is a cardiologist by training and active in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) since 1996. She has a significant interest in imaging inflammatory disease, cardiomyopathies and noninvasive hemodynamics applying CMR. She has a board certification in internal medicine and cardiology followed by board certification dedicated on CMR. Since 2004 she is heading the Working Group Cardiac Magnetic Resonance at Charité Campus Buch. Furthermore, she established the department Non-Invasive Cardiac Imaging in the clinical environment. For research reasons she established a research outpatient department focusing on different kinds of cardiomyopathies. She owns a University-Professorship in Cardiology “Noninvasive Imaging focused on Cardiovascular Magnetic Reso­nance”. The research of the group is focused on clinical topics including growing interests in MR-physics. That is based on collaboration with MR scientists world wide. A special interest is research at experimental 7Tesla CMR in human. Dr. Schulz-Menger has a high interest in CMR-teaching and education. She was one of the founder and is the scientific director of the University Training Courses in Berlin. Furthermore, she is a partner of circle-institute, a company dedicated to CMR-courses. Her group was able to establish a CMR-network throughout Germany. The group has published more than 170 peer-reviewed articles. She is an elected member of the faculty council of the Charite. Dr. Schulz-Menger served on the Board of the ISMRM and was president of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR).

Dr John Mandrola is a cardiac electrophysiologist based at Baptist Health in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition to his clinical work, he is widely recognised as a leading voice in contemporary cardiology through his writing, podcasting and public engagement. Dr Mandrola is known for his clear, patient-focused commentary on cardiovascular care, evidence-based medicine and the responsible use of medical technology. Dr Mandrola earned his medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He completed his postgraduate medical training at Indiana University, where he distinguished himself academically and clinically, receiving the Outstanding Fellow Award. His training laid the foundation for a career focused on cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia management. Dr Mandrola practices as a cardiac electrophysiologist at Baptist Health in Louisville, Kentucky, where his clinical work focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Beyond his clinical role, Dr Mandrola has become a prominent figure in medical journalism and digital education. He writes a regular and widely read column for theHeart.org, where he addresses developments in cardiology, clinical trial interpretation and healthcare policy. He is also the host of the highly regarded “This Week in Cardiology” podcast, which provides weekly analysis of major cardiology studies and news. Dr Mandrola additionally contributes to Sensible Medicine, a platform dedicated to thoughtful discussion of medical evidence and clinical decision-making. His work as a communicator has earned him a broad international following among clinicians and patients alike. He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, reflecting his professional standing and ongoing contributions to the field of cardiology. Dr Mandrola is recognised for his contributions to cardiac electrophysiology as well as for his influential role in cardiology communication and education. His writing and podcasting have helped shape discussions around evidence-based practice, patient-centred care and the thoughtful adoption of new technologies in cardiovascular medicine.
