General
Description
Internist and Cardiologist, with a special interest in cardiovascular disease prevention, non-invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions, and the clinical implications of cardiovascular epidemiology.
Involved in teaching activities since 2014, and serving as a Tenure-Track Professor since 2025, I am firmly convinced of the importance that must be given to teaching in the training of health professionals with the quality that our region both deserves and requires.
