Education

Dr. Kristian Galanti’s academic journey began with a Master’s Degree in Medicine and Surgery from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome, graduating with professional qualification. He undertook further specialization in Cardiovascular Diseases at the University G. D’Annunzio of Chieti-Pescara and is currently pursuing a PhD in Medical Biotechnologies with a focus on technological innovation in cardiovascular sciences. His education is enriched with certifications in cardiac magnetic resonance, echocardiography, and cardiogenetic imaging from leading Italian and European cardiology societies, highlighting his pursuit of continuous learning and academic excellence in clinical and translational cardiology.

Experience:

Dr. Kristian Galanti has significant clinical and research experience. As a resident physician, he managed cardiology cases, conducted ECGs, and performed advanced imaging techniques including echocardiograms and cardiac MRIs. He also participated in interventional procedures, such as angioplasties and device implantations. At WellSpan Health, he contributes to inherited cardiovascular disease research, integrating imaging and genetics to understand arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse. He actively engages in writing scientific articles, producing scientific illustrations, and collaborating in multinational studies, making his dual expertise in clinical and research environments a rare and impactful combination.

Research Interest:

Dr. Kristian Galanti’s research centers on cardiovascular imaging, heart failure, and genetic cardiomyopathies. He is particularly focused on multimodality cardiovascular imaging (CMR, echo) and its correlation with genetic markers in diseases like dilated cardiomyopathy and mitral valve prolapse. His current projects involve imaging-genetics integration for arrhythmic risk stratification. Dr. Galanti is also engaged in drug interaction studies related to novel heart failure therapies. Through systematic reviews and original investigations, his work aims to bridge diagnostic precision with therapeutic personalization, making significant contributions to cardiogenetics and translational cardiovascular science.

Awards and Honors:

Dr. Kristian Galanti has earned several accolades for his academic and research contributions. He received the Italian Society of Cardiology Research Grant for excellence in cardiovascular science. Additionally, he was honored with the “Aldo Prosperini” Award for his original research on ejection fraction evaluation. he won the Best Poster Award at the ANMCO MUMA Congress for his clinical case on Cori-Forbes disease. Previous honors include the Clinical Case Award and Best Abstract Award from the Italian Society of Cardiology, along with the prestigious “Iginio Betti” Foundation Scholarship.
