A Prestigious Recognition for a Cardiovascular Pioneer

Dr. Valentin Fuster, a towering figure in the world of cardiovascular medicine and the President of Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, has been honored as the first speaker of the World Heart Federation's inaugural Annual Oration. Scheduled for August 30, 2025, this groundbreaking lecture will be a centerpiece of the prestigious European Society of Cardiology Congress and the WHF World Congress of Cardiology held in Madrid.

Focusing on Future Generations

Dr. Fuster is set to address the urgent need to alleviate heart disease risk beginning in childhood, emphasizing the critical importance of early detection, education, and global health initiatives. As he puts it, 'About 80 percent of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular diseases occur in low- and middle-income countries. Therefore, we need a global perspective on health education.'
