Specialista in Canalopatie, Cardiogenetica e Prevenzione della Morte Cardiaca Improvvisa/Specialista in Medicina d'Emergenza-Urgenza
Da oltre vent'anni mi occupo di malattie elettriche del cuore — condizioni genetiche in cui il cuore appare normale all'ecografia ma può generare aritmie pericolose, anche letali, spesso senza alcun segnale d'allarme.
Ho iniziato questa specializzazione nel 2005 presso l'Unità di Aritmie dell'Hospital Clínic di Barcellona, dove ho lavorato per quasi otto anni a fianco del Professor Josep Brugada. In quegli anni ho acquisito formazione completa in elettrofisiologia clinica e invasiva, diagnosi e gestione delle canalopatie — sindrome di Brugada, QT lungo, QT corto, tachicardia ventricolare catecolaminergica — e ho partecipato come ricercatrice a progetti internazionali finanziati dal Fondo Nacional de Investigación en Salud spagnolo e dalla Generalitat de Catalunya.
Dal 2013 svolgo attività di ricerca in Sardegna nel campo delle canalopatie cardiache e della prevenzione della morte improvvisa. Ho partecipato come ricercatrice full-time al progetto "Epidemiologia e Genetica della Morte Improvvisa in Sardegna" e attualmente collaboro con l'AOU di Sassari nel progetto "Biomarcatori cardiaci nella sindrome di Brugada: previsione e stratificazione del rischio di morte improvvisa". Ho seguito centinaia di famiglie: dalla diagnosi del caso indice allo screening dei consanguinei, dalla neonatalità all'età adulta, attraverso generazioni.
Ho pubblicato su JACC, European Heart Journal, Europace e Heart Rhythm, e ho contribuito a capitoli di testi di riferimento internazionale in cardiologia ed elettrofisiologia.
