José Carlos Cruzalegui Gómez

I am trained in paediatrics and paediatric cardiology and completed my specialisation in paediatric cardiac electrophysiology at the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital. I am currently part of the medical team at the Arrhythmia Unit at SJD Barcelona, where I carry out my clinical, teaching and research work.

At the Hospital, I aim to contribute to the development and promotion of paediatric electrophysiology, both nationally and internationally. I also seek to contribute to the training of paediatricians, neonatologists and paediatric cardiologists in this speciality and in the management of arrhythmias through teaching, clinical simulation and the development of new technologies.
