Stefano Rigo, M.D
Licensed Medical Doctor graduated from Humanitas University Medical School, Rozzano (Italy). I collaborated in research studies conducted in Humanitas Research Hospital Internal Medicine Department. I became familiar with autonomic nervous system disorders and autonomic research methodologies. I was trained in cardiovascular parameters analysis in time and frequency domain and I participated in >50 experimental sessions including microneurography of the peroneal nerve during tilt on human subjects. In Milan I collaborated in the development of an original research project with the aim to characterize the clinical features and autonomic profile of patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.
I was subsequently appointed as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Autonomic Dysfunction Center, Vanderbilt University Medical Center starting October 2021. I am collaborating in studies investigating autonomic determinants of Postural Tachycardia Syndrome and in a research project focusing on the association of obesity, insulin resistance and hypertension. My latest research interest focuses on the Post-Acute COVID19 sequelae, with particular interest in autonomic nervous system dysfunction following Sars-CoV2 infection.
