Pediatric arrhythmias, genetic cardiology and sudden death
Georgia Sarquella-Brugada graduated in Medicine in 2001 from the University of Barcelona and obtained her Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Barcelona in 2015. She has a master's degree in pediatric cardiology from the University of Barcelona, a pediatric electrophysiology master's degree from the University of Alcalà; and postgraduate degree in Medical Genetics from the University of Valencia and Familial Heart Diseases from the Menéndez Pelayo University.
Between 2007 and 2009 she did a fellowship at the Hôspital Sainte Justine in Montréal, Canada and from 2009 to 2011 at the necker Enfants Malades in Paris.
Since 2012 she has been a professor at the University of Girona and coordinator of the European Network of Rare Cardiac Diseases in Pediatrics.
In 2011 she joined the Cardiology service as an assistant and since 2015 she has been Head of the Arrhythmia Unit at Hospital Sant Joan de Déu.
