“Cardiovascular health is failing, especially in women, and there are no signs that this stagnation is going back to a normal trend,” UTMB’s Dr. Octavio Bramajo tells the Daily News. Bramajo and Dr. Neil Mehta recently published a study that found that cardiovascular disease is the main reason for a growing life-expectancy gap between the United States and other high-income countries.
