Biography

Dr. Francesco Calvo is a cardiologist at the Intensive and Semi-Intensive Cardiological Care Unit of IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan, under the direction of Professor Alberto Zangrillo. He also works as a Cardiologist Consultant for Casa di Cura La Madonnina and as a Sports Cardiologist for AC Milan Football Club.

He graduated in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Turin in 2014 and specialized with honors in Cardiovascular Diseases at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele in Milan in 2019.

Dr. Calvo handles a range of frequent cardiological emergencies, with a focus on acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. He manages patients with mechanical circulatory support (such as intra-aortic balloon pumps and Impella) and patients with ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in both intensive and outpatient settings.

He is also involved in the management of chronic heart failure, coronary artery disease, arterial hypertension, valvular heart diseases, atrial fibrillation, and other cardiac arrhythmias, as well as venous thromboembolism and sports cardiology. At Casa di Cura La Madonnina, he oversees cardiac rehabilitation for patients recovering from cardiac surgery.

Dr. Calvo is an associate member of the Italian Federation of Sports Medicine (FMSI).

In research, Dr. Calvo focuses on cardiogenic shock, heart failure, and mechanical circulatory support. He has authored and co-authored 18 publications in scientific journals.

He delivers lectures on Medical and Surgical Emergencies in the Medicine and Surgery degree course at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele in Milan and provides clinical tutoring to students in the Cardiological Intensive Care Unit.
