Giovanni Luigi De Maria MD, PhD Oxford Heart Consultant Interventional Cardiologist

About Dr. De Maria

I earned my MD in 2008 from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome, where I later completed a PhD in 2019.

After Cardiology training at Gemelli Hospital, I specialised in Interventional Cardiology through a clinical fellowship at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. Since 2019, I have been a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. I lead the Oxford Renal Denervation and Coronary Sinus Reducer Programmes.

I also lead the Acute Cardiovascular sub-theme at the Oxford British Research Council and I oversee the Research Catheterisation Laboratory and the Invasive Imaging Theme of CoreLab at the University of Oxford’s AMIIC centre. In 2025 I was awarded the title of Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer on Interventional Cardiology at University of Oxford

I provide 360-degree heart healthcare, from prevention to check-ups via outpatient visits, either in person or remotely, according to patients' preferences.

My expertise includes managing chest pain and arterial hypertension, with full access to advanced diagnostics and tailored treatments.

For coronary artery disease, including microvascular angina, I offer minimally invasive procedures such as coronary stenting, angioplasty, and the coronary sinus reducer. For resistant hypertension, I specialize in innovative therapies like renal denervation.

My ultimate goal is to provide seamless, effective, and personalized cardiovascular care.

I have a strong passion for clinical research and a deep commitment to innovation, constantly seeking new ways to improve heart health.

My dedication is reflected in my scientific production, with over 170 publications showcasing my drive for advancing cardiovascular care.

Equally important to me is mentoring younger colleagues in my research team, helping them grow, develop their skills, and fulfill their potential. Supporting the next generation of researchers is one of my core values.

Beyond work, I cherish time with my family, which keeps me grounded and inspired. I also have a deep love for music and enjoy playing the piano.
