James K. Min is Professor of Radiology and Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and the Director of the
Dalio Institute of Cardiovascular Imaging (ICI) at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He is a
board-certified cardiologist with a clinical focus on cardiovascular imaging and cardiovascular disease
prevention.
Min received his BA from the University of Chicago, and his medical degree from Temple University Medical
School. He completed his internship, residency and cardiovascular medicine fellowship at the University of
Chicago Hospitals. In addition to the generous gift from the Dalio Foundation, Min’s research is supported by
several grants from the National Institutes of Health, as well as through industry partners such as GE
Healthcare. Through this support, he has published over 300 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and served
as Principal Investigator on more than 20 multicenter clinical trials. He recently founded HeartHealth, a state-ofthe-
art cardiac prevention program that evaluates novel risk factors for the development of coronary heart
disease. This program integrates the latest advances in cardiovascular research and directly translates them to
clinical care, using tools as hand-held ultrasound, advanced lipoprotein analysis, computational fluid dynamics
applied to coronary CT angiograms, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Min is a Past President and a member of the Board of Directors of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed
Tomography, where he served as Chair for the Annual Scientific Sessions meeting for numerous years. He is a
leader in the American College of Cardiology where he serves on the Task Force for Clinical Expert Consensus
Documents, which serve to guide clinical decision-making and treatment for newer technologies and less
understood disease states. He previously served on the Task Force for the ACC Appropriate Use Criteria,
which takes an evidence-based approach to guide use of cardiovascular testing and treatments. Min serves as
Associate Editor for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging, Journal of
Nuclear Cardiology, and the Journal of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography. Min has received
numerous awards and distinctions, including recently being elected into the American Society of Clinical
Investigation and the Academy of Radiology Research.
