Dr. Mancini received his MD degree from the University of Toronto (1977), did his residency at St. Michael’s and Toronto General Hospitals and was a Cardiology and Research Fellow at the University of California at San Diego. After a year in the rank of Clinical Assistant Professor at U.C. San Diego, he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 1983 where he achieved the rank of tenured Professor and also became the Chief of the V.A. Section of Cardiology and Associate Chief of the University of Michigan, Division of Cardiology. He then became Chair of Medicine at the University of British Columbia, 1992-2002.
Dr. Mancini remains a tenured Professor of Medicine at the University of British Columbia and a member of the Centre for Cardiovascular Innovation. He directs an imaging-based research program (Cardiovascular Imaging Research Core Laboratory, CIRCL) that includes facilities for quantitative coronary angiography, ultrasound analyses (coronaries, carotids and brachial artery for atherosclerosis and endothelial function assessments) and cardiac computed tomography. This program has been actively funded for over 30 years, originating at the University of Michigan and transferred to UBC in 1992. Dr. Mancini’s interest focuses on the integration of multi-modality cardiac imaging in multicenter clinical trials for the assessment of structural and functional aspects of coronary atherosclerosis and for primary and secondary cardiovascular risk reduction. He has published over three hundred journal articles, abstracts, books and book chapters.
He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, prior Governor of the American College of Cardiology (British Columbia), a member of the Circulation Council of the American Heart Association, Past President of the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation, past Editorial Board Member of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and the American Journal of Cardiology and past Associate Editor of Atherosclerosis. He serves as a reviewer for many journals and is currently a member of the editorial boards of the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, and the International Journal of Cardiac Imaging.
Dr. Mancini is the former Research Director of the UBC Division of Cardiology during which he developed processes to help mentor new faculty by providing competitive funding for pilot projects intended to help start thematic research careers. Through development of research infrastructure support, the role continues to help facilitate development of competitive grant submissions to external agencies. Success in this arena is fully integrated with the recently established Centre for Cardiovascular Innovation at UBC which serves as an umbrella organization for excellence in all aspects of cardiovascular research from within the Division but also provincially, nationally and internationally.
Dr. Mancini founded the CardioRisk Clinic at Vancouver Hospital and currently serves as its Scientific Director. The focus of the CardioRisk Clinic is to foster innovation in novel CV risk detection and therapy, to support FH Canada for the identification and treatment of patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia and to support the SAVE BC program to identify patients and families with very early atherosclerotic heart disease in order to understand the causes and identify novel risk factors. Provision of comprehensive primary and secondary CV preventive therapies also serves to create a unique environment for clinical training of residents and fellows in parallel with clinical research opportunities.
