Project Title: Development of novel ultrasound tools for maternal and fetal cardiovascular assessment |
Veronica obtained her graduation in Medicine in July 2012 and specialization in Obstetrics and Gynecology in September 2018 at San Raffaele University in Milan, Italy. Her clinical inclination has always been combined with basic research focused on the mechanisms underlining physiological and pathological phenomena. During her clinical training, the placental function and its related obstetrical complications have become her main fields of interest. In November 2018 she moved to the UK to start her PhD at St George’s University of London funded by iPLACENTA project. The aim of her PhD project is to study the complex cardiovascular changes in women affected by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), such as pre-eclampsia, in the peripartum period. Since women with a history of HDP are at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) later in life, the information provided by her project might offer a unique opportunity to improve the screening and the prevention of CVD in women.
