I am an experienced clinical cardiologist with an emphasis on cardiovascular MRI and CT. I am also an experienced clinical and basic researcher, with extensive knowledge of MR and CT equipment technology. I have mentored 21 medical professionals who finished their PhD programs. I have obtained several FAPESP (Grant Research Agency for São Paulo State) grants as an investigator or co-investigator. I am also the Past Editor-in-Chief of Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (ABC Cardiol) and on the editorial board of JACC. I also review for many scientific journals, such as Circulation, JACC CV Imaging, Radiology, JCMR, and JCCT. I am also a reviewer for the 2 most important grant agencies in Brazil, FAPESP (State) and CNPq (Federal). I have been listed for many years among the top-cited scientists (Ioannidis JPA). I was the PI for Heart Institute (InCor) at several international clinical trials, including Core320 and Core64 trials. During both trials, Heart Institute was the site that included the highest number of patients. Our strategies and connections within the Heart Institute facilitate inclusion and the follow-up of the patients.
