Dr Eleonora Russo obtained the degree in Medicine and Surgery summa cum laude (110/110) in 2006 at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, then she got specialization in Cardiology summa cum laude (50/50) in 2011 at the same university. From 2009 she attended EP lab at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart. Then she joined Cardiac Arrhythmia Center at Centro Cardiologico Monzino as fellow first, then as cardiac electrophysiologist in EP Lab until 2017. In 2014 Dr Russo got Philosophiae Doctor degree in Physiopathology of Heart Failure at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart. Currently she is cardiologist in Cardiovascular Department at Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza IRCCS, Italy.
