BCIS Launches YouTube Channel with john Mandrola Interview
18th February 2026
BCIS is thrilled to announce the launch of the BCIS YouTube Channel with the full recording of the recent ACI interview of Cardiology legend John Mandrola, in which ex-BCIS President Dave Hildick-Smith seeks an answer to the question: “How I became John Mandrola”.
The interview provides fascinating insights into Dr Mandrola’s first forays into cardiology journalism, blogging, and social media, culminating in his ongoing weekly podcast: “The Week in Cardiology”. We learn how Dr Mandrola developed a critical and considered approach to new trials and data, and his wisdom in what it takes to become a thoughtful and rounded cardiologist and doctor, not just someone with a hammer looking for nails.
The launch of the BCIS YouTube channel marks the start of a broad initiative from BCIS to expand our communication strategy into public-facing educational offerings, a revitalised website, and wider social media engagement.
