Non-invasive cardiology, echocardiography, cardio-oncology, multimodality cardiovascular imaging
Cardiotoxicity of cancer therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis, and the application of multimodality imaging and machine-learning techniques in cardiovascular disease.
<p>Lili Zhang, MD, is Director, Cardio-Oncology Program and Assistant Professor, Cardiology at Montefiore Einstein. A non-invasive cardiologist and a cardiac imaging specialist, Dr. Zhang’s clinical focus is in Cardio-Oncology, cardiomyopathy, general cardiology, echocardiography and multimodality cardiac imaging.</p><p>In 2007, Dr. Zhang earned her Doctor of Medicine degree at Peking University, Beijing, China. Further education and postdoctoral training brought her to the U.S., completing her Master of Science in Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2011. She then came to Einstein, completing her residency in internal medicine in 2015 and her fellowship in cardiology in 2018. In 2019, Dr. Zhang completed her fellowship in Cardio-Oncology and cardiac imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital.</p><p>Dr. Zhang’s research focuses on cardiotoxicity of cancer therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis, cardiovascular care and the application of multimodality imaging and machine-learning techniques in cardiovascular disease. Her research experience includes retrospective studies, prospective cohorts (ARIC and CHS), large multi-cohort consortiums (CHARGE and PAGE consortiums), randomized clinical trials (PROMISE trial), and international collaborative registries (international immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis registry and Global Cardio Oncology Registry). She has shared her work through more than 60 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and abstract publications.</p><p>Dr. Zhang is board certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease. She is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, and is a member of the American Heart Association and the international Cardio-Oncology Society. In 2021, she was awarded the Glorney-Raisbeck Junior Faculty Research Award in Cardiovascular Disease by New York Academy of Medicine.</p>

<p>Jacqueline Weingarten-Arams, MD, is an attending physician and Professor, Pediatrics at Montefiore Einstein. Dr. Weingarten-Arams’ pediatric critical care expertise focuses on cardiac critical care, acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, nutrition in critical illness and energy expenditure, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (quality CPR) and extracorporeal life support (ECMO).</p><p>After obtaining her Bachelor of Science in nutritional biochemistry at Cornell University in 1982, Dr. Weingarten-Arams earned her Doctor of Medicine at the same institution in 1986. She then completed her pediatric residency at Columbia University in 1990, where she was Chief Resident in her final year. Following this, Dr. Weingarten-Arams completed a fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine at New York Hospital Cornell University Medical College in 1996.</p><p>Dr. Weingarten-Arams research focus includes the use of deliberate simulated practice in improving outcomes in pediatric critical illness, pediatric resuscitation and pediatric airway management. Her other projects involve chronic critical illness, bioethics in pediatric critical care and oxidative injury in respiratory failure. She has been principal investigator and co-investigator on several research projects, and her work has been shared through numerous peer-reviewed publications and invited presentations.</p><p>Dr. Weingarten-Arams is a Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners and the American Board of Pediatrics. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Chest Physicians. She is also a member of several professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society and the Society of Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Weingarten-Arams has been named in Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors: New York Metro Area” for multiple years. In 2006, she was inducted into the Leo M. Davidoff Society and in 2019, Dr. Weingarten-Arams won the William Obrinsky Award for Excellence in Medical Student Education.</p>
