Dr. Renu Virmani
Evolving insights into "Neoatherosclerosis"
Dr. Renu Virmani (USA) is a renowned cardiovascular pathologist and former President and Medical Director of the CVPath Institute. Her groundbreaking work on vulnerable plaques has advanced the understanding of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. She also contributed significantly to research on Neoatherosclerosis in DES and BMSs, shedding light on restenosis and stent failure. With over 600 publications, seven books, and 100 book chapters, her achievements have earned her prestigious honors, including the TCT Career Achievement Award (2012), the Gold Medal Award at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, and the “Master of the Masters” Award at TCTAP (2021).
You’ve really been incredibly important in the contributions you’ve made in our understandings of the basics, of the mechanisms and progression of atherosclerosis, a vulnerable plaque, vascular responses to stents and other devices, and so much more. And you’ve done it in such an incredibly credible way, always scientific at its heart, and always with a clear intent to educate and to strive for the truth. (Gregg W. Stone) It was someday in October 2005, I met Dr. Virmani for the first time, and I asked her if I can work at CVPath and she immediately said OK you can come, and my dream time started. Working with her is like riding a roller coaster which is so exciting every day and 3 years was so quick for me. (Gaku Nakazawa) There are people who are experts then there are experts of the experts. And in my opinion, not being too biased about this, she is the expert of the experts. There are people out there who cannot be replaced in terms of their knowledge and their understanding of certain areas, and I think Dr. Virmani qualifies for that. And I think that a lot of people including myself have benefitted from her knowledge and learning from her. I hope it would pass on through the generations. (Aloke V. Finn)
