Dr. Navin Suthahar (MD, MSc, PhD) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cardiology at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He is a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and its Heart Failure Association (HFA). He serves as an Editorial Consultant for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) and as Editor for BMC Medicine. He obtained his MD in 2008, followed by postgraduate diplomas in Respiratory Medicine and Cardiology, an MSc in Preventative Cardiology, and a PhD in Cardiology. During his doctoral training, he uncovered overlapping effects of obesity and sex on HF biomarker profiles. Specifically, he demonstrated that for NT-proBNP, male sex (not obesity) was strongly associated with lower levels in the general population, whereas obesity (rather than male sex) had a pronounced lowering effect in patients with established HF. He subsequently led a multicenter observational biom With a full-time research focus, Dr. Suthahar now leads studies on obesity-related HF, novel HFpEF biotargets, and sex-specific aspects of cardiometabolic disease using a multidisciplinary approach. He has published over 80 research items and holds a patent on circulating BMP10 for assessing congestion and pulmonary hypertension. He actively contributes to the cardiovascular community through the Netherlands Heart Institute (NLHI) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), helping shape national, European, and global research agendas for heart disease.
