Women in cardiovascular imaging in the US increased by 35% from 2013–2022.

While gender gaps remain, this progress is promising. Diverse perspectives in imaging strengthen leadership and improve patient care.

"In 2013, only 1 in 10 cardiac imagers were women; by 2022, this increased modestly to 1 in 7, mirroring representation in cardiology overall. Similar trends were seen across all modalities, though the representation in interventional echocardiography remained low - mirroring interventional cardiology. Additionally, nuclear imaging showed lower female representation compared with the other modalities." - Dr. Maria Alwan et al, Houston Methodist, USA

A study of white-collar workers in Quebec shows that both sex and gender shape how CV risk factors affect future outcomes.

Risk is not experienced the same by everyone; adding gender measures in assessments could strengthen prevention and care for women.

Women with autoimmune diseases face up to 3x higher CV mortality than men, even as treatments improve.

Persistent gaps stem from inflammation, hormones, & diagnostic delays, highlighting the need for sex-specific research & care.

"Estrogen prolongs the QT interval, predisposing to arrhythmias like torsades de pointes, while inflammatory cytokines exacerbate myocardial electrical instability. Addressing these risks requires increasing awareness of atypical cardiovascular symptoms in females with IMIDs, enhancing early detection through advanced imaging, and ensuring equitable access to therapies like biologics." - Dr. Heba Wassif, Cleveland Clinic, USA

Women and Health: Uncovering Health-Care Disparities
Despite women comprising half of the global population, women’s health issues are underreported, underrepresented, and underprioritised. Women's health research receives a disproportionate share of funding. Contrary to popular belief, obstetrics and gynaecology alone do not encompass women’s compreh

Nearly half of women improve heart function within 6 months after TAVI by at least one stage, with both baseline & follow-up staging strongly linked to long-term outcomes.

Sex differences in heart disease have to be considered to help improve outcomes.

Acting sooner could improve outcomes of female patients and prevent the occurrence of advanced HF symptoms and irreversible cardiac damage, which could hamper the potential benefit of TAVI in women with severe AS and improve their quality of life.

A new study shows that while ischemic heart disease mortality has declined across Europe, progress is slower for women. In many countries, women still face higher mortality largely due to modifiable risk factors.

Prevention must recognize sex & gender.

A study of 175,000 adults found that lifestyle and health factors like diet, blood pressure, & activity have nearly double the impact on women’s heart disease risk compared to men.

Women with poor health had 5x higher risk vs. 2.5x in men.

#WomensHealth
Text reads: For the same level of health, our study shows that the increase in risk [related to each factor] is higher in women than in men-it's not one-size-fits-all. This is novel and something that hasn't been seen in other studies. We found that women tend to have better health than men, but the impact on outcomes is different. The combination of these factors has a bigger impact in women than it does in men. -Dr Maneesh Sud, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Canada

At RISE @ ESC Congress 2025, Professor Thomas Luscher reminded us of our shared duty to uphold truth and evidence-based science.

In an age of misinformation, standing for data and facts protects trust, patient care, and progress.

A quote from Professor Thomas Lüscher given during the House of Cardiology Roundtable at RISE @ ESC Congress 2025: "We have to stand up all together for science, for reasoning, for evidence, rather than fake news that we see everywhere these days. And I think it's very, very important that we all stand together and say, only data, only facts count."
