She is an active EACVI member, past President of the Working Group on CMR (Spanish Society of Cardiology) and has been co-author and national reviewer of ESC Guidelines. Her mean research interest is the characterisation of myocardial damage using imaging techniques, particularly CMR. She belongs to a multidisciplinary group of cardiologists and engineers (MAGERIT Consortium) focused on the implementation of innovative tools for cardiovascular image post-processing and myocardial dysfunction detection.
