Annapoorna Kini

Annapoorna Kini, M.D., is an American cardiologist and a Professor of Cardiology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.

Dr. Kini performs over 1,000 coronary interventions annually (the highest number by a female interventionalist in the United States) with an extremely low complication rate of less than 0.3 percent. In 2011, an official annual report from The Department of Health recognized Dr. Kini as the safest operator among 350 other physicians in the state of New York.

Biography

Dr. Annapoorna Kini serves as a Professor of Medicine, Director of Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, Director of Interventional Structural Heart Disease Program and Director of interventional cardiology fellowship at The Mount Sinai Medical Center. Dr. Kini is an international leader in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention and heart valve therapy.

In collaboration with Dr. Sharma, she started the Live Symposium of Complex Coronary and Vascualr Cases in 1998 and has been receiving an astounding success every year. Her achievements are not only limited to serving as the Director of the Annual Live Symposium of Complex Coronary & Vascular Cases at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, one of the most attended and respected meetings in the field of interventional cardiology in the country, but as also being the Director of monthly web conferences on Live Complex Coronary Intervention Cases hosted by the prestigious www.cardiosource.org with a worldwide audience of several thousand physicians.

She has an extensive experience with the techniques of mitral and aortic balloon valvuloplasty, and has been among the first interventional cardiologists in the country to use transcutaneous aortic valve implantation procedure in the treatment of unoperable patients with critical aortic stenosis.

She is co-author (with Dr. Samin K. Sharma) of Coronary artherectomy: Contemporary concepts in cardiology and (with Dr. Valentin Fuster) of Definitions of acute coronary syndromes in Hurst's The Heart.^[1]

Education

Kini graduated from India's Vivekananda College in 1984. She received her MBBS from Kasturba Medical College in 1991, completing residencies at the University of Wales College of Medicine (in 1996).
