Did you know that women are far more likely to die of heart disease than from all forms of cancer? Despite numerous national campaigns over the years to bring greater attention to women and heart disease, recent surveys suggest that lack of awareness remains a problem for women of all walks of life. It’s why our guests have put together a comprehensive step-by-step call to action to help every woman to get on the path to heart health with their book, Heart Smart for Women.  

Joining us for a discussion of their work are cardiologists and co-authors—

Jennifer Mieres, MD, Professor of Cardiology and Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs at the Zucker School of Medicine and Senior Vice President, Center for Equity of Care, and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer of Northwell Health, and Stacey Rosen, MD, Professor of Cardiology and Partners Council Professor of Women’s Health at the Zucker School of Medicine and Vice President for Women’s Health at Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health.
