Institutions of which it is part

Dr Guillermo Romero Farina is a Cardiologist and Senior Researcher at VHIR and CIBERCV, and cardiologist at CSAPG. He is an expert in the study of cardiac synchronization, ventricular remodeling, cardiomyopathies, chronic coronary artery disease and in the development of cardiovascular risk scores in women and men. Special interest in the development of artificial intelligence to improve coronary risk stratification. His research relates to the clinical application of cardiac imaging.

Curriculum

In 2000, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Medicine and a PhD in Cardiology (Cum Laude) with a doctoral thesis on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB).
Between 2002 and 2005, he completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture, focusing on Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and the study of Myocardial Viability at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital (UAB).
In 2006, he earned a Diploma in Biostatistics in Health Sciences from the Department of Biostatistics, UAB, followed by a Master’s degree in Biostatistics. In 2012, he received a Master’s Degree in Advanced Cardiology from the Spanish Society of Cardiology, and in 2014, a Master’s Degree in Diagnostic Cardiac Imaging from the same institution.

He is also a member of several international scientific societies and serves as a regular reviewer for multiple leading journals in clinical cardiology and cardiovascular imaging. He has accumulated extensive expertise and international recognition in the fields of cardiac synchronization, ventricular remodeling, cardiomyopathies, chronic coronary artery disease, and the development of cardiovascular risk scores for both women and men. He has developed several risk models and indices, including the VHRS-I, VHRS-II, VHRS-ICM, VHRS-SCAR, CORSWO, and PERRS-index. Currently, he is involved in 20 active lines of research, with recent projects focusing on myocardial flow analysis, Chagas heart disease, and myocardial involvement in scleroderma.
