In honor of Fiorella
When Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14, it is a day of joy for many people around the world. Not so for Italian-born Petronela Sandulache. In 2018, her mother Fiorella died of heart disease following a misdiagnosis. This fate prompted Petronela to dedicate herself to the early diagnosis of heart disease in women after a one-year break and she founded CorDiFio. The name of the start-up is derived from the Italian “Cuore di Fio”, where Fio was the short name of her mother Fiorella.
