Dr. Navin Suthahar completed his medical degree (MD) in 2008, holds postgraduate diplomas (PG-Dip) in Cardiology and Respiratory Medicine, as well as a masters (MSc) in Preventive Cardiology. His doctoral thesis in Cardiology (PhD) focused on novel aspects of heart failure biomarkers, including the overlapping effects of sex and fat distribution. He currently works as a senior scientist in the Department of Cardiology at Erasmus Medical Center (Rotterdam, Netherlands) and has authored over 75 research items. His research primarily focuses on: i) replacing BMI with relative fat mass (RFM) in the clinical estimation of adiposity; ii) obesity-related cardiometabolic disease, particularly HFpEF; and iii) cardiac hormones: natriuretic peptides and BMP10. Additionally, he is involved in cardio-oncology research, examining mechanisms linking cardiometabolic disease with cancer. Sex-specific aspects are systematically evaluated and reported across all his research projects.
