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]
She performs more coronary interventions annually than any other woman in the U.S.[2]
Biography
Kini was born in India and graduated from the Kasturba Medical College in Mangalore. After further studies in Wales, she became a member of the Royal College of Physicians of London.
She joined the staff at the Mount Sinai Hospital in 1996, undergoing further studies with Drs. Fuster and Sharma.[3][4]
