Peter Rentrop, MD commemorates two significant anniversaries that have defined his monumental contributions to cardiology: the 45th anniversary of his first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a cornerstone treatment for heart attacks, and the 30th anniversary of the founding of the American Society for Nuclear Cardiology. His groundbreaking work with PCI in 1978 has dramatically enhanced survival rates for heart attack victims globally, marking a significant leap in medical practice.

Born in Cologne, Germany, he has made New York his home after an impressive educational journey through Germany's and America's top institutions, including a vital fellowship in Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic in 1973. These experiences laid the groundwork for his influential career in cardiology worldwide.

He has consistently been at the vanguard of cardiology, initiating significant innovations that have reshaped the management and treatment of heart conditions. His pioneering efforts in 1978 with Percutaneous Interventions for acute myocardial infarction introduced a new era in heart attack management. A year later, he showcased the benefits of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, further establishing his role as a leading figure in cardiac care.

One of his enduring contributions is the "Rentrop Collateral Classification," developed in 1985. This classification system has become a critical tool in cardiac research, helping physicians better understand and treat heart collateral circulation issues.

His innovations extend to medical devices, notably the 0.8mm Spectronetics Laser catheter, which is crucial for removing harmful atherosclerotic buildup in coronary and peripheral arteries. Additionally, his efforts brought Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanning to New York, revolutionizing chronic coronary artery disease diagnosis and treatment by allowing for non-invasive, accurate assessments.

His profound impact goes beyond professional boundaries into philanthropy and community service. He has donated substantial personal earnings, including $8.5 million from patent royalties and years of salary, to ensure disadvantaged urban populations have access to advanced cardiac PET technologies, showcasing his deep commitment to equitable healthcare.

Beyond his medical and philanthropic work, he pursues a well-rounded life, enjoying meditative walking, swimming, chess, and reading. These pursuits reflect his dedication to personal growth and intellectual fulfillment.

Klaus Peter Rentrop, MD's career and philanthropy illustrate a legacy of profound professional impact and deep personal commitment, making him a true inspiration in the medical field and beyond.

Adrian Alexander of New York, born in Bucharest, Romania, in 1946, emigrated to the United States in 1964 after completing high school. Holding dual U.S. and Italian citizenships, his early days in America were marked by adversity; his father passed away just six months after their arrival. He rose to the challenge, supporting his mother while pursuing his education. He earned a Master’s in Electrical Engineering from NYU Engineering School in 1970 and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1972.

His academic excellence during these challenging times set the stage for his successful career. He began in investment banking, recruited by Morgan Stanley & Co. from Harvard, where he worked for three years before moving to Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb as VP of Mergers and Acquisitions.

In 1978, his career took him to Milan, Italy, where he worked for the executive search firm Egon Zehnder, recruiting executives for multinational clients until 1983. He spent most of the subsequent decades working in Italy, reflecting his deep ties and commitment to his European origins.

Upon returning to the U.S., he demonstrated his entrepreneurial spirit by acquiring and revitalizing Minneapolis Sport, a struggling sporting goods store franchise, which he successfully sold to its franchisees. His knack for transformation was further evidenced from 1987 to 1990 when he joined Polly Peck International, Plc as Vice President of Acquisitions, notably acquiring Del Monte Fresh Fruit Company and developing the company’s strategy in Eastern Europe.

He continued to leverage his extensive experience by advising a regional corporate stationer from 1991 to 1994, guiding it to become a $2 billion multinational office products distributor. Subsequently, he served as the principal of a boutique investment bank, specializing in emerging healthcare companies and securing crucial venture capital investments.

In 1996, he founded the Phoenix Real Estate Fund in New York, acquiring and managing over 200 properties before selling the fund at the end of 1999. He then established Technology Seed Capital in 2000, an early-stage venture capital fund that supported technology startups for three years.

His innovative approach to business continued with his partnership with Limores.net, a pioneering online platform for ground transportation, from 2004 to 2006. He also managed an imaging center in Astoria, New York, from 2006 to 2014, which he successfully turned around and sold.

In 2010, he founded Health Settlement, LLC, a lender for personal injury cases, eventually partnering with U.S. Claims, a Blackstone company, in 2014.

On a personal note, Adrian Alexander is a dedicated family man. He celebrates significant anniversaries and milestones with his wife and children. He also enjoys the strategic complexities of chess and poker, where he applies his analytical skills and strategic thinking.

Adrian Alexander of New York’s journey from a Romanian immigrant to a successful American entrepreneur showcases his resilience, strategic acumen, and ability to navigate and thrive in diverse industries and challenges.

I like to describe my career to people as making the world a better place for all people, no matter their needs. I truly believe our work makes a difference in people's lives. That is why accessibility is as much a passion as a profession. My aim in any role is to promote digital inclusivity and ensure that all users have equal access to information and services online.

My day-to-day work involves conducting accessibility audits and assessments to identify potential barriers to access. I like to offer solutions, not just list the problems, and prefer to work with the project team to find a fix that considers their team, their coding comfort level, and any system restrictions. Accessibility improvements shouldn't feel impossible, and it's important to me to spend time ensuring the project team feel positive about the improvements rather than frustrated.

In my role as a subject matter expert, I work with designers, developers, and content creators to ensure that their products and services meet accessibility standards and guidelines. I also support clients who would consider themselves 'non-technical', and enjoy the challenge of simplifying complex technical subjects.

I'm based in Scotland but can also be regularly found around Manchester, Leeds and London as part of my work with Nexer Digital. I'm also very comfortable speaking alongside any Nexer Digital colleagues -- you can check out their Sessionize pages: Danny Lancaster, Chris Bush, Rachel Breeze, and Molly Watt.
