Dr. Brooke Aggarwal is a behavioral scientist and clinical health education specialist in the Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). She currently serves as Principal Investigator of a population-based study examining the association of sleep patterns, lifestyle, behavioral, and psychosocial factors, and cardiometabolic risk among a new cohort of 500 women. She is also the Director of Training for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women Center at CUIMC.
Research Projects:
Dr. Aggarwal's research lab is evaluating the risk of cardiovascular disease and sleep patterns in a diverse population of women throughout various life stages. The team is conducting a prospective observational study to evaluate sleep patterns, caregiving, lifestyle and psychosocial risk factors, and the relation between sleep patterns, markers of inflammation, and cardiovascular health outcomes in a new population-based cohort of female community members and family members/friends of patients hospitalized at an academic urban medical center. The goal of the research is to provide new insight into potential pathways through which sleep may be linked to cardiac risk in women.
