Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in women yet studies have suggested it is often under-recognized. Of particular concern is the apparent suboptimal treatment of women in comparison to men, with less revascularization and use of evidence-based medications. The Women in Innovations group of cardiologists, aims to highlight these issues and change perceptions to optimize the treatment of female patients with cardiovascular disease, support future research, and encourage and guide the training of female interventional cardiologists.
心血管疾病是女性死亡的主要原因，但研究表明，这种疾病常常未被充分认识。特别令人关注的是，与男性相比，女性的治疗似乎不够理想，较少进行血运重建治疗，也较少使用基于证据的药物。心血管病学领域的女性创新者团体旨在强调这些问题，并改变观念，以优化心血管疾病女性患者的治疗，支持未来的研究，并鼓励和指导女性介入心脏病学家的培训。
