Prof Antoniades is particularly interested in the control of high blood pressure, and runs a Hypertension clinic at the Oxford University Hospitals. He also has SCCT accreditation and directs the Oxford Academic Cardiovascular CT Programme. He has recently discovered a new method that predicts future heart attacks by analysing coronary CT angiograms.

Research
Prof Antoniades direct the Oxford Translational Cardiovascular Research group, and he is the Chief Investigator in many large platform studies such as the Oxford Heart Vessels and Fat (oxHVF) cohort and others. His research programme is focused on studying the interactions between fat and the cardiovascular system, aiming to understand how obesity and diabetes cause heart diseases.
He also directs the Oxford Academic Cardiovascular CT Programme, and he has recently discovered a new method, called Fat Attenuation Indexing (see Reuters report on FAI ), which enables early prediction of cardiovascular risk by analysing the appearances of the fat surrounding the heart vessels, from common coronary CT angiography images. This method was described in Science Transl Med 2017, and was further validated in a large cohort study that included 4000 patients, where it was found to predict fatal and non-fatal heart attacks (CRISP-CT study, Lancet 2018). This was highlighted in press (BBC News, Sky News , London Times , The Independent , New York Times, Yahoo News , The Guardian and others.
