I am a clinical cardiologist currently working as a senior clinical research fellow in the Robertson Centre for Biostatistics at the University of Glasgow with an honorary consultant cardiologist contract with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
I obtained my medical degree from Sapienza University in Rome and completed my specialist training in Cardiology in 2008 from the same institution. I spent my last 9 months of training abroad at a tertiary centre (RWTH University, Aachen, Germany) to improve my skills in advanced echocardiography. I subsequently worked for 6 months with an Italian Charity (Emergency) in Sudan and then applied for GMC registration before moving to the UK in 2010. Over the past ten years, I have combined both research and clinical duties.
My current area of interest is the use of new imaging modalities as tool to quantify clinical congestion with greater precision.
