Dr. Davide Enrico

Professional Profile: Cardiology & Ultrasound Diagnostics

My dedication to veterinary cardiology and diagnostic imaging began early in my academic career. Starting in my third year of veterinary school, I served as an intern and thesis student under the mentorship of Dr. Michele Borgarelli (DECVIM-CA). Following my graduation cum laude, I completed a rigorous one-year Rotational Internship at Clinica Veterinaria Malpensa under the supervision of Dr. Roberto Santilli (DECVIM-CA), where I gained specialized experience in arrhythmology and advanced cardiac care.
Building on this foundation, I transitioned into an academic role, eventually becoming the Head of the Inpatient and Intensive Care Unit. Throughout this period, I remained committed to my primary passion for echocardiography, completing advanced training courses with renowned specialists such as DVMs C. Bussadori, L. Ferasin, and O. Domenech. My clinical perspective has been further enriched by attending lectures from world-class experts including Drs. N. Sydney Moïse, V. Chetboul, and E. Côté. This blend of high-level mentorship and intensive clinical practice drives my commitment to diagnostic precision and excellence in cardiac patient care.
