Carlos Eduardo E. Rochitte, MD, PhD

Associate professor of Cardiology
Heart Institute, University of São Paulo
Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil

I am cardiology faculty since 1999, currently working on cardiovascular MRI and CT Sector at Heart Institute (InCor), University of São Paulo Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil, Vice-coordinator of the CMR and CCT fellowship program, and collaborating Professor of the Cardiopneumology Department. I am also the director of the Cardiovascular MR and CT sector of Heart Hospital (HCOR), São Paulo, SP. I was a post-doctoral fellow in cardiovascular MRI at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD, (1995-1999) under Drs. João Lima, David Bluemke, and Elias Zerhouni mentorship. I led several CMR studies on myocardial infarction and microvascular obstruction in animals and humans. I developed research projects on myocardial sodium imaging in 3T, 4.7T, and now 7T scanners for human myocardial sodium imaging. I have pioneered the use of late gadolinium enhancement in 4 specific non-ischemic cardiomyopathies: Chagas´ disease, Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, aortic valve disease, and endomyocardial fibrosis. I am a founding member of SCMR since 1996. I served SCMR as Chair of the Latin American Chapter, member of the editorial board of the JCMR, and member of the Board of Trustees of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR). I served the Brazilian Society of Cardiology as vice-president for Cardiovascular MR of the Cardiac Imaging Department and as the President of the Cardiovascular Imaging Department of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (DIC – 2020-2021, the equivalent to EACVI for ESC) and I am also currently the Editor-in-Chief of Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (ABCCardiol). I am now a very proud Fellow of SCMR-FSCMR. I am currently on the SCMR executive committee as vice-secretary treasurer.
I am an experienced clinical cardiologist with an emphasis on cardiovascular MRI and CT. I am also an experienced clinical and basic researcher, with extensive knowledge of MR equipment and technology.
