About

I am an interventional cardiologist at Einstein Hospital Israelita in São Paulo, Brazil, where I have worked since 2021. I am a PhD candidate in two programs: at the Albert Einstein Faculty of Health Sciences (FICSAE) and in DigiCardioPath at Sapienza University of Rome.

On this site I publish critical reviews of scientific papers and posts on statistics, clinical research and computing.

Training

MD, Botucatu Medical School (UNESP), 2011.
Residency in internal medicine (2013–2015), cardiology (2015–2017) and interventional cardiology and hemodynamics (2017–2019) at the Heart Institute (InCor), University of São Paulo.
Board certified in cardiology (SBC, 2017) and in interventional cardiology (SBHCI/AMB, 2019). TAVI certification (SBHCI/SBCCV/AMB).

Research

Intravascular imaging (IVUS and OCT) and plaque inflammatory phenotype.
Coronary physiology (FFR, iFR, QFR, μFR).
Pre-TAVI computed tomography and coronary assessment.
Calcium modification: intravascular lithotripsy and rotational atherectomy.
Drug-coated balloons.
Computational modeling of coronary geometry and blood flow.

I have 19 publications from 2018 to 2026, including papers in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, EuroIntervention and Coronary Artery Disease. I have presented at EuroPCR every year from 2022 to 2026. Awards: best abstract at the SBHCI Congress 2025 (FIRE-OCT study) and at EuroPCR RioValves 2025 (TACT study).

Statistics and computing

Applied biostatistics in R and Python.
Research software for IVUS, FFR and μFR, computational modeling of blood flow, and neural networks.
Software for data curation and statistical analysis.

Peer review

Reviewer for EuroIntervention, European Heart Journal, BMC journals and Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia.
