Women remain underrepresented in cardiac rehabilitation, despite its proven benefits.

A new statement calls for gender-sensitive, equitable approaches, automatic referrals, flexible models, & better integration of mental health and social support.

Thanks @gabrielamghisi.bsky.social and our co-authors for the opportunity to contribute to this publication. #Frailty is recognized as a CV risk factor, with prevalence increasing as the population ages, yet it remains underinvestigated! #CardioSky @kiteuhn.bsky.social @uoftmedicine.bsky.social

New paper out! We mapped how frailty is assessed & addressed in outpatient #cardiacrehab. Findings show inconsistent tools, limited sex/gender analysis & key barriers to participation. Inclusive, tailored cardiac rehab is urgently needed.

🧠 Women are nearly twice as likely as men to report anxiety 4 months after cardiac arrest (40% vs 23%), per a Danish study. Long-term mental health care must be part of recovery.
