NEW ORLEANS \u2014 Stacey Rosen is a cardiologist who has been coming to American Heart Association meetings for 30 years. Executive director of Northwell\u2019s Katz Institute for Women\u2019s Health, she is also senior vice president of Women\u2019s Health at Northwell, a professor of cardiology at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra\/Northwell and she also still sees patients. Now she leads the AHA as volunteer president for 2025-2026.<\/p>\n
Both the AHA and medicine have evolved over those last three decades, still developing what in her view is an overdue recognition of fundamental, biological differences between men and women. One turning point came in 1985, when for the first time, more women died of heart disease than men. \u201cI think the minute those mortality curves crossed, it was apparent to us,\u201d she told STAT. \u201cYou couldn\u2019t any longer deny that there was something different about women\u2019s heart health. And that we had to do something different.\u201d<\/p>\n
