1995 schloss er sein Studium an der Fakultät für Medizin und Chirurgie der Universität Catanzaro „Magna Graecia“ ab, wo er sich 2001 auf Innere Medizin spezialisierte. 2006 besuchte er den Kurs „State of the Art in AFIB and HF Treatments“ unter der Leitung von Dr. Carlo Pappone. 2014 besuchte er das Heart Rhythm Management Center der Universitair Ziekenhuis in Brüssel und erhielt die Zertifizierung für die Verfahren zur Behandlung von Vorhofflimmern mit Kryoenergie (Cryoballon Training Program). 2015 wurde er für die Implantation von kabellosen MICRA-TPS-Schrittmachern am Medtronic Training Center in Minneapolis zertifiziert (MICRA-TPS Training Program).
Dr. Iacopino ist Mitglied wichtiger nationaler und internationaler wissenschaftlicher Gesellschaften wie dem American College of Cardiology, der European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society, der European Heart Rhythm Association und der European Society of Cardiology. Er leitet mehrere Studienprojekte, die für den Patienten von großem Nutzen sind und sich mit der Identifizierung seltener Syndrome befassen, die mit Arrhythmien und Herzinsuffizienz in Zusammenhang stehen, wie das Brugada-Syndrom oder das Wolff-Parkinson-White-Syndrom. Kürzlich testete er zum ersten Mal in Italien CardioInsight, eine innovative Hightech-Jacke zur 3D-Kartierung von Herzrhythmusstörungen. Er hat an zahlreichen medizinischen Konferenzen auf der ganzen Welt teilgenommen und diese veranstaltet und dabei theoretische und praktische Vorbereitungen für die verschiedenen interventionellen Verfahren für Elektrophysiologen und Elektrophysiologietechniker aus ganz Italien und dem Ausland (Vereinigtes Königreich, Deutschland, Spanien, Russland) getroffen.
