About Me

I went to medical school in Argentina (UNR) where I got my medical degree and I did my Cardiology residency in Argentina (Santa Fe) as well. The last year of my Cardiology residency, I did a rotation in the Arrythmia and Robotic Electrophysiology Unit in La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain, one of the largest of the country. The following year, I applied and was awarded a European Heart Rhythm Association clinical fellowship in Electrophysiology returning to La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain. During my two-year fellowship at La Paz University Hospital, I acquired independent mastery in the use of contemporary 3D mapping systems (CARTO, NavX Ensite) as well as latest balloon ablation strategies (Laser balloon). Under the guidance of my expert supervisor, Prof. Jose Luis Merino, President-elect of EHRA, I learned to independently perform a high number of transseptal punctures, 3D electro-anatomical mapping, and finally complex ablation including; atrial fibrillation, left atrial tachycardias, SVT, atrial flutter, and VT as second operator. In addition, I was actively involved in several clinical research projects, presenting our original results at national and international scientific meetings including the 2015 Young Investigators Awards Conference in Milan, Italy.

 

While completing my fellowship I also completed my Masters in Electrophysiology at CEU San Pablo University, Madrid, Spain under the direction of Prof. Jesus Almendral. Once I finished my EP clinical fellowship at La Paz University Hospital, I started a new EP clinical fellowship with a focus on clinical research with Dr. Jesus Almendral as my mentor at Monteprincipe University Hospital which led to defending my doctorate thesis “Additional New Entrainment Criteria for Macroreentrant Atrial Tachycardias” at CEU San Pablo University, Madrid, Spain in January 2020. Throughout this fellowship, I attended multiple conferences and courses and was a Young Investigator Award Finalist in the 2018 EHRA congress in Barcelona, Spain.

 

As I entered the final stage of my PhD, I decided to move from Madrid, Spain to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to complete a research fellowship in the Electrophysiology department at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Currently I am finishing my Postdoctoral Electrophysiology Research Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN). On October 2021, I am starting a new position at UPENN as a researcher associate.
