After graduating in Medicine and Surgery at the University Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome in 2006, he specialized in Cardiology at the same university in 2012. Soon after his specialization he moved to England where he was hired as a Clinical and Research Fellow in cardiac electrophysiology at the Bristol Heart Institute (NHS), Bristol.

Dr. Frontera won a scholarship from the European Society of Aritmology (EHRA) and completed his training in cardiac electrophysiology at the prestigious Haut Léveque Hospital in Bordeaux, France, directed by Prof. Michel Haïssaguerre. In the same French university, he obtained his PhD.

During these 5 years of training abroad, he performed about 800 transcatheter ablation surgeries focusing mainly on the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias. As a researcher, he has published nearly 100 scientific papers on innovation and transcatheter ablation techniques, defibrillator, and pacemaker functioning algorithms.

Back in Italy, Dr. Frontera was employed at the Aritmology Unit of the San Raffaele Hospital specializing in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia, performing more than 150 procedures as a first and second operator.

He has a particular interest in the analysis of endocavitary signals (EGMs) in ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation.
