I am a paediatrician, trained in Italy, who subsequently specialised in paediatric cardiology and electrophysiology at the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital. I currently work in the Arrhythmia Unit, focusing on complex arrhythmias and inherited heart conditions. I combine my clinical work with research at the Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu and am also pursuing a PhD at the Universitat de Barcelona. My main areas of interest are paediatric electrophysiology, cardiovascular genetics, the prevention of sudden death and sports cardiology.
I am also a member of the steering committee of the Working Group on Sports Cardiology, Physical Activity and Prevention of the AEPC and a clinical lead for paediatric cardiology in the Working Group on Transition of the ERN GUARD-Heart. Furthermore, I am secretary of the SECPCC Young Researchers’ Group and deputy coordinator of the Paediatric Cardiology Working Group of the Catalan Society of Cardiology.
