Coronary Revascularization in Diabetic Patients, Follow-up
The major goal of this clinical trial is to define the optimal management strategy for diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
Role: Co-PI
FOCUS
Grant Agreenment n° 241559 Fuster (PI) 1/1/12-1/1/15
Funded by the 7th Framework Programme

The major goal is to study reasons for non-adherence to medication as well as studying the impact of a fixed doe combination polypill on adherence in a post-MI population.
Role: Scientific Coordinator
TAN SNIP (TRANS-ATLANTIC NETWORK TO STUDY STEPWISE NONINVASIVE IMAGING AS A TOOL FOR CARDIOVASCULAR PROGNOSIS & PREVENTION)
Astra Zeneca Fuster V (PI), Castellano JM Co-PI Aim 1. 6/1/2014-1/1/2018
The unifying purpose of TANSNIP (composed of four different aims) is to enable a model based on detection, quantification and characterization of subclinical atherosclerosis to enhance risk stratification and enable novel targeted therapies and risk reduction strategies. This award will consolidate a transatlantic network of world leading innovators in the fields of cardiovascular (CV) imaging, diagnostics and clinical trials.
AIM-1 will be carried out in a relatively low-risk population (ongoing PESA-CNIC cohort), and its objective is to study whether a personalized worksite based lifestyle intervention, driven by imaging data (3D-ultrasound of carotid and ilio-femoral arteries, and coronary calcification) results in changes in behavior, improved control of risk factors and reduced progression of subclinical atherosclerosis plaque burden (SAPB). Output: Non-pharmacological worksite lifestyle intervention validated against modification of conventional risk factors.
Role: Co-PI
SECURE (Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in the Elderly)
H2020 PHC 17 Fuster V PI/Castellano JM(Co-PI) 18/1/2015-18/1/2020
The SECURE trial will test Trinomia® (a fixed dose combination polypill) for secondary CV prevention in the elderly population (≥ 65 years old) in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI – both ST elevation and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI)). The principal objective of SECURE is to evaluate the potential benefit of Trinomia® as a component of a cost-effective, globally available and comprehensive treatment strategy for secondary prevention of CV events (death from CV causes, nonfatal MI, stroke, and hospitalisation requiring revascularisation) as compared to standard therapy (the three components of the polypill given separately).

Research
My laboratory is focused on developing and using noninvasive imaging methods that allow the early detection, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Despite considerable therapeutic advances over the past 50 years, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. This is mainly a result of the increasing prevalence of atherosclerosis, owing to the ageing population, the improved survival of patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and, above all, the widespread under-recognition and undertreatment of individuals with risk factors for atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is characterized by the thickening of the arterial wall to form an atherosclerotic plaque, a process in which cholesterol deposition, inflammation, extracellular-matrix formation and thrombosis have important roles (see Sanz and Fayad Nature 2008; 45:953-957). Symptoms occur late in the course of disease and are usually caused by the narrowing of the lumen of the artery, which can happen gradually (as a result of progressive plaque growth) or suddenly (as a result of plaque rupture and, subsequently, thrombosis). The resultant decrease in blood supply can affect almost any organ, although coronary heart disease and stroke are the most common consequences.
Traditionally, diagnosis of atherosclerosis was possible only at advanced stages of disease, either by directly revealing the narrowing of the arterial lumen (stenosis) or by evaluating the effect of arterial stenosis on organ perfusion. We are developing and using, new imaging approaches that allow the assessment not only of the morphology of blood vessels but also of the composition of the vessel walls, enabling atherosclerosis-associated abnormalities in the arteries (including the coronary arteries) to be observed, down to the cellular and molecular level in some cases. Some of these approaches are now in clinical use or are being tested in clinical trials, whereas others are better suited to basic (preclinical) and translational research.
Our current activities are focused on:
Imaging Acquisition and Analysis Methods: Development of novel multimodality cardiovascular imaging and analysis techniques using macro- and micro- Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and optical imaging.
Early Detection and Outcomes Prediction: Use of in vivo noninvasive multimodality imaging methods for the early detection of atherosclerosis in humans and for cardiovascular events and outcomes prediction.
Clinical Trials and Drug Development: Use in vivo noninvasive multimodality imaging methods in clinical trials for the development and testing of novel therapeutics to treat atherosclerosis.
Molecular Imaging: Development and use of novel multimodality imaging nanoparticulate systems to monitor fundamental cellular/molecular events in living subjects including patients.
Drug Delivery: Development and use of novel targeted drug delivery nanoparticulate systems to improve the treatment of atherosclerosis in living subjects including patients.

A. Personal Statement
I obtained my Medical Degree with Honors in 2006, receiving top University and National distinctions, including the “Outstanding National University Award”. Then I completed the official training in Cardiology in 2012 and was awarded the “Sanitas MIR 2012” Award (highest National Fellowship distinction in Spain, more than 5000 candidates). Immediately after, I moved into the translational cardiovascular research field at CNIC under the supervision of Dr Borja Ibanez. There, I completed 4 years of full-time research experience under competitive research training programs, and graduated as International PhD in 2017 (Spain’s Royal Academy of Medicine Award). In addition, I hold a Diploma of Statistics and a Master degree of Research Methodology in Health Sciences.
My scientific output includes 76 research articles, 38 of them as first or corresponding author and >90% in Q1 journals, with and h-index of 26 (Google Scholar) and 22 (WOS). I have demonstrated leadership in R&D&I projects in two different fields, namely translational cardiovascular/imaging research and health promotion/cardiovascular prevention. I am the lead author of a landmark series of works describing challenging concepts on the dynamics of inflammation after myocardial infarction as assessed by magnetic resonance. The main findings were published in years 2015 [J Am Coll Cardiol 2015;65(4):315-23 & J Cardiovasc Magn Reson 2015;17(1):92] and 2017 [Circulation 2017;136(14):1288-1300 & Circ Res 2017;121(4):439-450]. In addition, I am a co-inventor of a major industrial innovation in the field of 3D magnetic resonance imaging, which reduces the time of acquisition up to 30x (patent# EP15771635A).
My leadership in the field of health promotion and cardiovascular prevention is emerging (J Am Coll Cardiol 2018;72(25):3310-3319). I obtained a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship focused on health promotion and cardiovascular disease prevention and, under the direction of Dr Valentin Fuster, I have been crucial in the success of health promotion programs targeting both children and adults conducted in USA (J Am Coll Cardiol 2019;73(16):2011-2021 & J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75(1):42-56), Grenada (Am Heart J 2019) and Colombia (J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75(13):1565-1578). I am currently leading the Cardiovascular Health and Imaging Lab at CNIC, Spain (https://www.cnic.es/en/investigacion/cardiovascular-health-and-imaging) providing scientific support and coordination for school health promotion programs in Spain and leading the EnIGMA Project that will evaluate early imaging markers associated with unhealthy lifestyles in adolescents.

C. Contributions to Science
- Clinical studies on myocardial infarction and cardioprotection. My early research experience started during my fellowship in Cardiology, and related to the topic of myocardial infarction and the study of I participated as co-investigator in the METOCARD-CNIC clinical trial. This study demonstrated that the administration of early intravenous metoprolol in clinically stable myocardial infarction patients is able to reduce infarct size and improve long-term left ventricular function, as measured by CMR. I was involved in the recruitment and follow-up of patients, and acquisition/analysis of CMR images. In addition, I led several trial sub-studies. Some of the publications generated as a result of this work are detailed below:

- Novel methodologies in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. After finishing my fellowship in Cardiology, I completed a fellowship in cardiovascular translational research at CNIC (Madrid, Spain). The research group was multidisciplinary and focused on developing novel CMR methods for the study of the I was deeply involved in developing a translational pig model of myocardial infarction, and on acquisition and analysis of CMR images. Because of this work, I was able to publish as main author significant contributions in the field. In addition, I am participating as an inventor of a major industrial innovation in the field of CMR, which is protected under a granted patent and it is currently in a pre-marketing phase.

- Translational research on post-myocardial infarction edema. By implementing all the training acquired before, I focused my research later on the study of post-myocardial infarction edema. We challenged accepted paradigms, showing for the first time that the edematous reaction during the first week after myocardial infarction is not stable, instead follows a bimodal pattern. I presented this work as Late Breaking Basic Science at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2014 (Chicago, USA) and 2016 (New Orleans, USA). The main four publications related to this work are detailed below.

Research
Immunity and Cardiovascular Disease
We study the contribution of inflammatory cells infiltrating the atherosclerotic arterial wall to the progression of the disease: identification of the cellular and molecular immune interactions that occur in the atherosclerotic plaque.
Angiogenesis in Atherosclerosis
We investigate the contribution of circulating monocyte subsets as a source of a new isoform of tissue factor with angiogenic activity to the growth of intimal neovessel in atherosclerosis as a potential mechanism of lesion instability culminating in the onset of ischemic cardiovascular events (i.e. stroke and myocardial infarction).

SCIENTIFIC COORDINATOR | She Foundation
Specialties: Biotechnology
Biography:
During the first part of my professional career (1984-1995) I pursued a direct scientific activity up to the postdoctoral stage, which I held for 8 years. During this period I carried out research in various projects that analyzed the genetic basis cellular and organismal metabolism and development. These years allowed me to gain experience both in direct scientific activity and also to acquire skills beyond bench work, as planning, organizing, staffing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific goals and objectives.
My years as the Dean of the Science Faculty at the Universidad Europea (Madrid) allowed me to gain expertise in higher education and in the planning of combined scientific and educational activities.
In 2005 I joined the public Foundation Genoma Spain, aimed at promoting and coordinating research related to genomics and proteomics in Spain. During the last few years I have been engaged in a variety of large-scale health-oriented genomics projects, which allowed me to gain experience in the design and coordination of projects that addressed the genetics underlying disease in human populations. During this period I coordinated and managed large multidisciplinary teams, acquiring relevant skills in organizing internal communication and in designing realistic research plans.
Currently I coordinate scientific projects at the “She” foundation that explore methods for cardiovascular disease primary prevention in children and at risk adult general population.
During my career I have therefore acquired skills and basic knowledge in direct scientific activity and in large project/team management.

Current research support:
K08HL111330-01 PI: Kovacic Award Period: 12/12/2011 – 11/30/2016
“Cellular and molecular mechanisms of endothelial repair and atherosclerosis”
Awarding Body: NIH/NHLBI
Using murine Cre-lox lineage tracing systems, this proposal will define the functional contribution of endothelial cells to arterial homeostasis, arterial repair and atherosclerosis, and also investigate the ability of endothelial cells to change their phenotype to become smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts or other cells that drive atherosclerosis.
ISSCRES0141 PI: Kovacic Award Period: 04/29/2013 – 11/20/2014
“YELLOW II Study – Reduction in Coronary Yellow Plaque, Lipids and Vascular Inflammation by Aggressive Lipid Lowering”
Awarding Body: AstraZeneca
This investigator initiated clinical study will assess the in vivo regression of atherosclerotic yellow plaque content and changes in plaque morphology after high-dose statin therapy by utilizing diffuse reflectance near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in diseased coronary arteries of ischemic heart disease patients presenting for coronary angiography. Concurrently, lipid trafficking, reverse cholesterol transport and the inflammatory macrophage phenotype will be assessed in response to changes in patient lipid profiles. High-dose statin therapy (rosuvastatin 40mg daily) will be administered to all subjects (n = 80), with baseline measurements being compared to those at final follow-up after 8-12 weeks of therapy for each subject.
LEDUCQ Transatlantic Network of Excellence“Cellular and molecular targets to promote therapeutic cardiac regeneration”
PI: Jason Kovacic Award Period: 1/1/2014 – 1/1/2019
Awarding body: Foundation LEDUCQ (Transatlantic Networks of Excellence Programme)
The rationale for this network lies in the acute need for defining the mechanisms regulating and ultimately limiting regenerative responses of the adult heart. Unraveling the complex and poorly understood processes mediating the age-dependent decline in cardiovascular stem cell efficacy and regenerative capacity is a core objective of this network. A suite of mechanistic studies will lead to the identification of targets that can be modulated to boost the endogenous regenerative potential of the adult mammalian heart, including the use of small molecules that stimulate the mobilization of endogenous CSCs or transiently activate de-differentiation.
Mount Sinai Heart Fibromuscular Dysplasia Research Program (PIs: Olin & Kovacic) Award Period: 3/31/2013 – 3/30/2016
Awarding Body: Anonymous Philanthropic Donor
Title: DEFINE FMD Study
Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) is a non-inflammatory vascular disease of unknown etiology. This program will undertake an extensive molecular/genetic (PI: Kovacic) and clinical (PI: Olin) characterization of this disease. Using skin biopsies to generate patient-specific cell lines, we will establish the cellular and genetic profile of fibroblasts and other vascular cells from FMD patients and matched healthy controls. Our aim is to identify activated pathways and genes, and to ultimately elucidate the underlying cause of this condition.
I am a practicing interventional cardiologist, with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases. As an established investigator at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, I run a vascular cell-focused lab with a strong interest in the cellular, molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis, inflammation, cardiovascular disease and aging. I have over 20 years’ experience in this line of research, and also more recently in the investigation of vascular inflammation and its interplay with cardiovascular risk. Major achievements include successful investigator-initiated clinical studies of vascular progenitor cell therapy, characterization of embryonic stem cell-derived vascular progenitor cells, profiling inflammatory pathways regulating vascular injury and elucidating mechanisms of vascular calcification. The long-term goal of my research program is to make meaningful inroads into the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

SENIOR MEDICAL OFFICER | Ministry of Health, Grenada
Specialty: Primary Health Care & Infectious Desease
Biography:
Dr. E. Francis Martin, a graduate of the class 2000 worked in the Department of Emergency Room at the General Hospital, Grenada for 10 years. He posit that his experience in the emergency room significantly impacted his life as a physician and brought him face to face with the Social Determinants of Health. As a result, he developed a profound interest in Primary Health Care, and advocacy for health promotion as pivotal to disease prevention as the most sustainable way for health systems in Grenada.
Previously served as the first president of the International Students Association of SGU, Dr. Martin continued his service to the fraternity as the president of the Junior Doctors Association of the General Hospital and at present, the President of the Grenada Medical Association.
Dr. Martin conducted research in Grenada that link the annual Sahara dust plumbs across the Atlantic Ocean with Asthma exacerbation in St. George’s Grenada and has published his findings in the International Journal of Biometeorology.
Presently Dr. Martin is the Senior Medical Officer of the Ministry of Health with direct responsibility for Primary Health Care and the National Infectious Disease Control Unit. Dr. Martin has a keen interest in institutional reforms and health system strengthening that facilitates a collusion of the islands of the Eastern Caribbean, to pool resources to help adequately deliver health care through region specific, public health initiatives.
Dr. Martin believes in the mantra of “all of society approach” to public health with resolute public-private partnerships as enablers to achieve sustainable development. An alumni as diverse as that of St. George’s University is one such great opportunity for harnessing collaborative support that can have a profound impact on the quality of life for all our citizens of Grenada Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

PI11/00403 Peñalvo (PI) 2011 – 2014
Polymorphism APOA2 -265T>C in relation to dietary patterns and cardiovascular risk factors
The major goal of this study is: The identification of genetic traits that contribute to inherited dietary patterns, requires special attention to specific genes that can modulate caloric intake and therefore obesity. In this line, the -256C>T polymorphism in the apolipoprotein A-II gene promoter has been associated with increased body mass index or obesity in different populations and on those following a saturated fat-rich diet. There is no information so far on the possible modulation of this association by specific dietary or physical activity patterns or if this polymorphism also influences other cardiovascular risk factors such as the ratio APOA1/APOA2 or the development of atherosclerosis. This hypothesis will be studied in the context of the AWHS (Aragon Workers Health Study) cohort, involving cardiovascular disease-free (N~4000, 40-55 years) volunteers, and aiming to study early markers of atherosclerosis. For this, we will identify dietary and physical activity patterns by multivariate statistic analyses, and those will then be associated with anthropometric measurements and with the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis (evaluated through coronary TAC and carotid ecography). Linear and logistic regression models will be applied with increasing adjustment levels.

The major goal of this study is: This study examines the development of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors by monitoring the workers from the General Motors factory in Zaragoza (Spain) through their annual medical checkup. AWHS is a longitudinal cohort study including more than 5,000 workers. Participants are examined in the imaging facilities of the study with the objective of finding evidence of subclinical atherosclerotic disease.

Early Detection and Progression of Early Subclinical Atherosclerosis
The major goal of this study is: The PESA, CNIC2-Santander study will help identify cardiovascular risk factors and daily habits that may have influence on the development of atherosclerosis, and will help prevent the atherosclerotic disease by means of an early diagnosis before symptoms appear. PESA is a longitudinal study which is being implemented by Banco Santander and CNIC. Its core feature is the use of imaging techniques that help detect the prevalence and ratio of the progression of subclinical vascular damage in a population of 4,500 workers (men and women), aged 40-54. The study focuses on the association between those clinical values and the presence of genetic, epigenetic, metabolomic, proteomic and environmental factors, including dietary habits, physical activity, biorhythms, psychosocial factors and exposure to pollutant agents.

Eric Schadt, PhD
PROFESSOR & CHAIR
DIRECTOR ICAHN INSTITUTE FOR GENOMICS AND MULTISACLE BIOLOGY | Icahn Institute, Mount Sinai
Research topics:
Bioinformatics, Computational Neuroscience, Epigenetics, Genetics, Human Genetics and Genetic Disorders
Multi-Disciplinary Training Areas:
Genetics and Genomic Sciences (GGS), Neuroscience (NEU)
Biography:
Eric Schadt, PhD, is Director of the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology, Chair of the Department of Genetics and Genomics Sciences, and the Jean C. and James W. Crystal Professor of Genomics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Dr. Schadt is an expert on the generation and integration of very large-scale sequence variation, molecular profiling and clinical data in disease populations for constructing molecular networks that define disease states and link molecular biology to physiology. He is known for calling for a shift in molecular biology toward a network-oriented view of living systems to complement the reductionist, single-gene approaches that currently dominate biology in order to more accurately model the complexity of biological systems. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers in leading scientific journals, and contributed to a number of discoveries relating to the genetic basis of common human diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Prior to joining Mount Sinai in 2011, he was Chief Scientific Officer at Pacific Biosciences. Previously, Dr. Schadt was Executive Scientific Director of Genetics at Rosetta Inpharmatics, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., and before Rosetta, Dr. Schadt was a Senior Research Scientist at Roche Bioscience. He received his B.A. in applied mathematics and computer science from California Polytechnic State University, his M.A. in pure mathematics from University of California, Davis, and his Ph.D. in bio-mathematics from University of California, Los Angeles (requiring Ph.D. candidacy in molecular biology and mathematics).

Biography:
Dr. Sotos-Prieto trained as a nutritional epidemiologist in Spain and Europe (recipient of the PhD extraordinary award), but has also pursued advanced coursework and research in conducting randomized clinical studies and also in different task including, genotyping and gene expression analysis as a doctoral student at University of Valencia, Spain.
During her PhD she was working on nutritional genomics (gene-environment interaction) in the prevention of obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in the PREDIMED study (Prevention with Mediterranean Diet, a randomized control trial with 7,000 participants).
She additionally collaborated in the European Prospective Investigation in Cancer, Medical Research Centre, Cambridge (UK). After her PhD, she was a 1y postdoctoral researcher at CNIC, Madrid, (Spain), where she was working in a cluster randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of a school-based behavioral intervention for health promotion among children aged 3 to 5.
Dr. Sotos-Prieto current research focuses on how dietary and lifestyle behaviors and patterns (including overall diet, physical activity, social network, stress and/or sleep) can influence cardiovascular and diabetes endpoints and their intermediate phenotypes, alone or in moderation with genetic risk. She is interested in contrasting the association between these lifestyle scores and CVD/diabetes outcomes in various racial/ethnic populations at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
So far, Dr. Sotos-Prieto has been involved in many different projects. One of them was involving a lifestyle score and its association with cardio metabolic parameters in Boston Puerto Ricans.
Other involves studying gene-lifestyle score interaction on myocardial infarction among different populations. Mostly, she is interested in primordial prevention of CVD. Dr. Sotos-Prieto is investigating how changes in dietary quality and other lifestyles overtime are associated with clinical risk factors, CVD and mortality in two large cohorts: Nurses’ Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (>100,000 participants followed up more than 24 years).
So far, Dr. Sotos-Prieto has achieved few awards and honours during her postdoctoral research at Harvard, namely the Harvard Chan School of Public Health Program in Cardiovascular Epidemiology Outstanding Fellow Award of the year (2015), the Epidemiology and Prevention Early Career Grant (American Heart Association), or the PDA-HSPH Kocaeli travel award.
