Place of primary qualification: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
Dr Konstantinos Savvatis is a Consultant Cardiologist in the Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases Unit at Barts Heart Centre in London. He also holds the position of Honorary Associate Professor at University College London and Queen Mary University London. Dr Savvatis trained at the Department of Cardiology at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany, one of Europe's largest centres focusing on dilated and inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
Dr Savvatis earned his PhD on the immunomodulatory role of matrix metalloproteinases in acute myocarditis. He continued his work as a Clinician Scientist at the Charité and the Centre for Regenerative Therapies, where he focused on the role of fibrosis and fibroblasts in heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
His main clinical and academic interests lie in genetic and inflammatory cardiomyopathies. He is particularly focused on the risk assessment and therapy of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, and cardiac involvement in neuromuscular conditions such as limb girdle, Duchenne and Becker’s muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, and Friedreich’s ataxia.
Dr Savvatis is specialised in advanced cardiovascular MRI and echocardiography. His work has been published in several high-impact journals, including Nature Communications, Circulation, Circulation Research, JACC, and the European Heart Journal.
He offers the following, among others:
- Myocarditis
- Cardiac sarcoidosis
- Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
- Dilated cardiomyopathy
Dr Savvatis’ dedication to advancing the field of cardiology and his expertise in both clinical and academic settings make him a highly respected figure in his field.
