Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in women, yet it is often underrecognized due to gender bias in healthcare.

Dr. Newman is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Medicine and the Holman Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
