Mount Sinai Heart's Dr. Valentin Fuster delivers his honoree speech at CRF's Pulse of the City Gala on Dec. 12.

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 15, 2014 -- The Cardiovascular Research Foundation(CRF) honored Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, at its annual Pulse of the City Gala for his contributions to cardiovascular research and education. Antonio M. DeMaria, MD, was also honored.

The CRF gala, held on December 12 at the Plaza Hotel, honored Dr. Fuster, Director of Mount Sinai Heart and Physician-in-Chief of The Mount Sinai Hospital, for his career-long dedication to training the thought leaders of tomorrow, which has led to improved outcomes for patients worldwide.

“I thank the Cardiovascular Research Foundation for this award, all my colleagues who help me fulfill my dreams day-to-day, and especially I thank my family which is always number one,” says Dr. Fuster, who is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). “It is fantastic when you feel supported on a daily basis.”

“Dr. Fuster is a leader in the ongoing revolution in clinical and scientific research, with a true passion for heart disease prevention and a champion for eradicating heart disease,” says Roxana Mehran, MD, Chief Scientific Officer of the CRF Clinical Trials Center and Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Research and Clinical Trials at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “He is a dedicated and highly-regarded mentor of hundreds of fellows, a luminary of clinical excellence, and a role model for those in cardiovascular medicine,” says Dr. Mehran, who introduced Dr. Fuster at the CRF gala.

Dr. Fuster is a past president of both the American Heart Association and the World Heart Federation. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, where he serves as chair of the Committee on Preventing the Global Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease, and a member of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Dr. Fuster is also President of the Training Program of the American College of Cardiology.

In addition, 33 distinguished universities throughout the world have granted him honorary doctorate degrees. Dr. Fuster is an author of more than 900 research articles on the subjects of coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis, and he has published two leading books on clinical cardiology and research: The Heart and Atherothrombosis and Coronary Artery Disease.
