Professor Harmony Reynolds

Dr. Harmony Reynolds is the Joel E. and Joan L. Smilow Professor of Cardiology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where she directs the Center for Women’s Cardiovascular Health and the Cardiovascular Clinical Research Center. She is dedicated to improving the health of women through research, clinical care and education. Dr. Reynolds’ research career has been focused on mechanisms and outcomes of cardiovascular disease in women and testing of treatment strategies for ischemic heart disease in clinical trials. She is particularly well known for her work in myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) and stable ischemic heart disease with nonobstructive coronary arteries (INOCA).

Dr. Reynolds was the lead of the HARP (Heart Attack Research Program) study, an AHA-funded international study focused on imaging to determine underlying causes of MINOCA. She was the associate director of the CCC for the NHLBI-funded, international ISCHEMIA trial. In addition, she was principal investigator of the CIAO-ISCHEMIA study, an international, NHLBI-funded study researching the relationship between symptoms and ischemia over time in patients with INOCA. She is currently PI of the INOCA-CARE randomized trial evaluating home-based cardiac rehabilitation in INOCA patients.

Dr. Reynolds’ clinical efforts include cardiology practice with a focus on women and on MINOCA, INOCA, coronary dissection and takotsubo syndrome. She received the American College of Cardiology Bernadine Healy Leadership Award in Women’s Cardiovascular Disease in 2024.
