Part 2: CUTV News Radio Welcomes Back Professor of Medicine Dr. Jeffrey S. Borer

New York, NY – Dr. Jeffrey Borer is a cardiologist and Professor of Medicine, Cell Biology, Radiology, Surgery and Public Health at the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University. He has also spent the last 42 years serving in an advisory role for the FDA.

Rated in the Top 1 Percent Physicians by U.S. News & World Report LP in Cardiology, Dr. Borer first was nationally and internationally acclaimed for his work in establishing the benefits of nitroglycerin during heart attacks, beginning at a time it was considered inappropriate to give this drug during a heart attack. Later, he was instrumental in the development of real-time radionuclide cineangiography and its application during exercise, which made him a household name in cardiology, allowing doctors for the first time to see abnormalities of heart function as they occur during exercise. This development profoundly changed the way cardiology was practiced.

Dr. Borer’s most recent investigations center on prognostication strategies in patients with heart valve diseases and evaluation of drugs and devices for heart failure.

“I don't think the FDA takes too long and I don't think they're too strict,” he continues. “If people knew the extraordinary amount of work that's involved in evaluating a therapeutic drug or device, I think they would not be so critical.”

“Advising the FDA is about contributing to the public health through direct public service,” says Dr. Borer. “You do it because it's appropriate to do and I enjoy it.”
