Ms. Areej AlJehani

Teaching Assistant

Ms. Areej Al-Jehani is a dedicated Teaching Assistant contributing significantly to the Cardiovascular Technology-Echocardiography program at the College of Applied Medical Sciences, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences. A distinguished alumna of King Saud University, she holds a Bachelor's degree in Radiological Sciences, providing a robust foundation for her subsequent academic endeavors.

Ms. Al-Jehani's pursuit of advanced knowledge led her to the esteemed Imperial College London, where she earned a Master's degree in Medical Ultrasound. Her master's thesis advanced the field by investigating the assessment of left ventricular function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, employing cutting-edge 2D speckle tracking technology and feature cardiac magnetic resonance.

Currently, Ms. Al-Jehani is pursuing a PhD in Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. Her doctoral research is focused on the critical task of phenotyping the right ventricle's structure and function through the application of echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the context of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy.
