Thirty-four universities throughout tgranted him Honorary Doctorate Degrees.[8][11]

Fuster was born in Barcelona, Spain. He is the son of Joaquín Fuster (psychiatra) and a daughter of Marquess of Carulla. His brother is the neuroscientist Joaquín Fuster.[17] As a young man he competed in tennis at a national level and was introduced to Pedro Farreras, the author of the standard Spanish textbook of medicine. Farreras encouraged Fuster to study cardiology.[18]

Fuster graduated first in his class with an MD from University of Barcelona1967.[19] He completed an internship at the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona, then attended University of Edinburgh Medical School for a PhD on the role of platelets in myocardial infarction.[20]

Honors and awards

Scientific investigator

Contributions in translational medicine
  • The original understanding of a major role played by platelets in atherothrombotic disease, based on long-term experiments in pigs with a deficiency of von Willebrand factor, severe platelet dysfunction, and resistance to atherothrombosis[36][37]
  • The first demonstration of the role played by platelets in CABG occlusion and prevention by aspirin, findings based on platelet imaging in dogs and on our subsequent definitive trial in humans (first trial of aspirin on CAD)[38][39]
  • The first demonstration in humans that coronary plaque rupture occurs in plaques that paradoxically are small and angiographically silent, an angiographic finding that explains the unpredictability of events and led to new diagnostic MRI technology on identification and characterization of arterial plaques at autopsy [40][41][42][43]
  • The first demonstration that a critical substrate of thrombosis following plaque rupture is a lipid-rich plaque (vulnerable plaque) with a high density of macrophages undergoing apoptotic death with a release of tissue factor, findings which are based on a sequence of experimental and clinical studies, in part based on MRI and PET technology[44]
  • The first identification and characterization by new MRI technology (black-blood) of the vulnerable/high-risk plaques and reversibility by statins, findings based on a sequence of animal and human studies that led to the recent interest in cardiovascular MR imaging [45]
  • The first demonstration in vivo of an important role of HDL in reversing lipid and macrophange-rich plaques, a finding based on the infusion of HDL in cholesterol-fed rabbits (and recently supported by others in CAD patients) and in cross-transplantation of the atherosclerotic aorta from transgenic mice with low HDL into mice with high HDL[46][47]
  • The first demonstration of rapamycin as a powerful inhibitor of post-injury smooth muscle cell migration/proliferation/extra-cellular matric development, which are findings first based on a series of in vitro studies, then documented in pigs and recently confirmed by others in humans by the prevention of restenosis with drug-eluted stents.[48]
  • The first demonstration of the great potency of antithrombins in the prevention of thrombosis in experimental animals, which has also been demonstrated recently in humans by his colleagues in the RE-LY trial on atrial fibrillation with the prevention of arterial embolism in those given oral antithrombins[49]
  • Based on MRI technology, demonstration in animals and humans of the development of neovascularization in the adventitia and media with the purpose to remove oxidized LDL-C from the intima, specifically when LDL-C in blood decreases with statins[50][51]
  • The documentation by MRI technology in animals and of histopathology in humans, that neovasculature, by leaking red blood cells into the interstitium induces an inflammatory reaction that predisposes to the rupture of the internal elastic lamina and eventually to plaque rupture and thrombotic occlusion[51][52]

Contributions to large clinical trials, global health and education

As a result of this vocation and the clear social need to promote healthy habits, Fuster has created the SHE Foundation (Science, Health and Education) with the aim of improving total health in the population, especially young people.[8]

SHE foundation

"Fuster ... is convinced that a change in the population's lifestyle is the only way to avoid the spread of cardiovascular diseases, which are a real epidemic and the main cause of death in the world. "Faced with this evidence and based on the experience gained over his career, Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD promoted the creation of SHE, a non-profit foundation that, while focused on basic and clinical research (Science), is aimed at promoting healthy habits (Health) through communication and Education of the population. "With this goal, the SHE Foundation devotes its efforts to creating a frame of reference for what an education in health means and involves, stressing the acquirement of healthy habits from childhood in order to promote a world in which children, young people and adults have the ability to act positively towards their health."[53]

Sesame workshop

"Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, Director of Mount Sinai Heart, is the inspiration for a Muppet doctor on Barrio Sésamo: Monstruos Supersanos,[54] the Spanish version of Sesame Street which debuted on Spain's Antena 3 just last month. The character named "Valentin Ruster" is helping to educate children to lead healthier lifestyles through exercise and healthy diet. "Fuster serves as an international advisor on Sesame Workshop's Global Health Initiative. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death around the world, and the goal of the initiative is to measure health improvements in children and build global partnerships to address their critical health issues. In fact, many studies show that childhood obesity leads to cardiovascular disease, thru an increase in cardiovascular disease risk factors including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. Globally, in 2010, the number of overweight children under the age of five is estimated to be over 42 million. Sesame Workshop, which has been creating specific content on healthy habits for young children and their families for almost a decade, is now exploring opportunities with Fuster to extend its initiative in the United States.

"Fuster first joined forces with Sesame Workshop in 2006 to collaborate with Plaza Sesamo, the Latin American version of Sesame Street, to promote cardiovascular health and well-being in Colombia. The series there encourages children, parents, teachers, and caregivers in making informed nutritional and lifestyle decisions based on educational television content, community outreach, and evidence-based research."[55]

FREEDOM trial

The FREEDOM trial, involving 150 institutions around the world, is the largest funded study (NIH) in diabetes and is led by Fuster. It aimed at defining the optimal revascularization strategy for diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease.[56][57] The striking benefit of surgical revascularization versus stenting represents unique breakthroughs in the cardiovascular field as presented in the 2012 AHA Scientific Sessions and simultaneously published in the NEJM.[58]

Polypill

"The prevention of cardiovascular disease is hindered by several factors, including wide variability in the pattern of prescription among physicians, limited access to expensive drugs in emerging countries, and poor adherence to medication. The use of fixed-dose drug combinations (polypill) has been recommended to improve accessibility and adherence to treatment. The CNIC, working in a private-public partnership with Ferrer International, has devised a fixed-dose combination for secondary prevention. The CNIC-Ferrer polypill project is led by Valentín Fuster and is coordinated by the Translational Research Platform."[59]

Promoting cardiovascular health worldwide

This is a report released by the Institute of Medicine of The National Academy of Science, under the sponsorship of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. It was the result of deliberations of a 130-member committee of experts chaired by Fuster and made available to all governments of the world in order to initiate and/or contribute to global health policy for chronic diseases.[60]

Promoting cardiovascular health in children

This large scale initiative was carried out in Colombia and Spain under Fuster's leadership. In Colombia, a randomized control was conducted to assess the effect in children three to six years of age (a time of behavioral development) of knowledge, attitude and habits regarding healthy eating and living an active lifestyle. Children in the 40-hour intervention group showed a significantly larger increase in total score compared to that in the control group. Three years later, children showed a further increase in total score. This finding will be published in the American Journal of Medicine.[61]

The project's results have led to its expansion into about 25,000 children in Colombia and 20,000 children in Spain. In Spain's program, a new Muppet character was recently created, inspired by Fuster. The character and his storyline are aimed at educating the children of Barrio Sesame about their hearts and bodies. The two country project will be long-running in order to prove that the interventions at such an early age affect adult behavior. The participants will be evaluated each year.

Promoting cardiovascular health in adults of middle-income countries

Health in adults of middle-income countries can be reflected by a pilot project directed by Fuster on the island of Granada in the Caribbean, which has a population of 100,000 people. He is assembling groups of 10 people, with a cardiovascular risk factor profile in an Alcoholics Anonymous format that uses peer pressure to help participants adopt healthier behaviors.[62] This project is based on a successful risk factor profile pilot study carried out in nearly 3,000 Grenadians and on a recent, also successful, 10-person group study now finishing in a small town in Spain.

Promoting cardiovascular health in adults of low-income countries

Exemplified by an NIH grant awarded to Fuster as a principal investigator, the objective of this project is to address the issue of hypertension in Kenya. Hypertension is the leading global risk factor for mortality, and the global cost of sub-optimal blood pressure is estimated to be very high. The project is demonstrating the effective impact of combining the human factor and high technology. A small portion of the 100,000 population of two town districts - Turbo and Mosoriot - are being trained through automatic machines, to take the blood pressure measurement of their respective neighborhoods; the values are then registered and centralized by the use of smartphones. Hopefully, such an approach will be transferable to other cities and countries.

Research and educational AHA-FORUM

A national program developed by Fuster when he was President of the American Heart Association, having two objectives in mind: 1) To engage potential young researchers with volunteer senior investigators of the AHA, offering as such, free tutorship or mentorship; the success stories of this approach are many. 2) To reinvigorate the Junior-Senior investigator relationships through an annual meeting, the Saturday preceding the Scientific Sessions of the AHA; the yearly attendance counts in the hundreds.

Clinical and educational AHA "Fellows Society of the Greater New York"

A regional program developed by Fuster when he was President of the AHA, New York City (2003-2004), the purpose being two-fold: 1)To educate fellows or young cardiologists in training in the greater New York area - including Connecticut, New Jersey, Long Island and the five Boroughs of NYC - about American Heart Association programs and activities. 2) To provide a forum for professional interaction, problem-solving and discussion of professional issues among the cardiology fellows. Such a successful program, it is now being extended to other regions of the country including Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia.

Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares

The National Centre for Cardiovascular Research (Spanish: Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares or CNIC) is a Spanish research institute. The Centre was founded in 1999 and is situated on the campus of the Carlos III Health Institute in Madrid. The institute is supported by the Government and by a core group of the most important Spanish private companies (the Pro-CNIC Foundation founded in 2005).[63][64]

Under Fuster's leadership, these last five years have been crucial in two aspects:

  • the development of an outstanding center of research, earning the prestigious award "Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence", as determined by three international committees.
  • the creation of an ambitious and comprehensive training program, the "CNIC-JOVEN," composed of 15 different programs aimed to identify and train the best and brightest talents for cardiovascular research, starting from levels of secondary education forward.

High Risk Plaque (HRP) Bioimage Initiative

With Fuster as a principal investigator, is aimed: a) to discover the role of multi-modality imaging (five technologies) in predicting subclinical disease, b) to identify the most cost-effective imaging technology for potential use in low and medium economy countries, and c) to evaluate whether subclinical disease can motivate the individual to modify his/her lifestyle. The project is successfully involving 6,000 Americans (Chicago and Florida areas) and 8,000 Europeans (Madrid and Zaragoza, Spain).[65]
