American University of Armenia Alumna Receives Publication Award
Gayane Yenokyan - AUA MPH Alumna receives the 2010 "Best Paper Award" by
Circulation, Journal of the American Heart Association.
Gayane Yenokyan, MD, MPH, Ph.D. has been selected as the winner of
Circulation's "Best Paper Award" in the category of Population Science, for
the article she co-authored "Prospective Study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
and Incident Coronary Heart Disease and Heart Failure: The Sleep Heart
Health Study. The 2010 award will be presented at the end of Circulation's
symposium, "Groundbreaking Studies in the Practice of Cardiovascular
Medicine," to be held at the American Heart Association's Scientific
Session, on November 13, 2011, in Orlando.
Circulation publishes articles related to research in and the practice of
cardiovascular diseases, including observational studies, clinical trials,
epidemiology, health services and outcomes studies, and advances in applied
and basic research. The journal's "Best Paper Award" is determined by the
editors, who consider the paper's importance in the field and evaluate usage
statistics to identify those papers that have the greatest impact.
Circulation has the highest impact factor of all the cardiology journals",
says Dr. Haroutune Armenian, AUA President Emeritus, UCLA Professor of
Epidemiology. "Dr. Yenokyan has been my advisee when pursuing her Ph.D.
degree at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She
collected her data for her Ph.D. research work in Armenia on Familial
Mediterranean Fever, also known as Armenian disease. It was remarkable to
witness her work on her research project with such a great enthusiasm, and
simultaneously raise two little children at home".
Such recognition is a testimony to the high quality of education that AUA's
academic programs continue to provide to its graduates to achieve
excellence.
