Mangaluru, August 8, 2024 – Dr. Jostol Pinto, Associate Professor of Cardiology at Father Muller Medical College (FMMC) and an Interventional Cardiologist, has marked two significant academic achievements this month.

Dr. Jostol Pinto co-authored a chapter titled "Role of Bisoprolol in Tachyarrhythmia with Heart Failure" in the international cardiology textbook *Advances & Revolutions in Heart Failure (ARHF)*, First Edition, published in 2024. This publication, his eighth chapter contribution in a textbook of Cardiology since joining FMMC, has been added to the institution's Central Library.

In addition, Dr. Jostol Pinto co-authored an original research article titled "Correlation of Urinary Human Heart Fatty Acid Binding Protein with the Conventional Cardiac Marker of STEMI" published in the *Journal of Cardiovascular Disease Research*. The study aimed to analyze the correlation between urinary and serum levels of human heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (HH-FABP) with traditional cardiac markers in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
