Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. Decades of grassroots campaigns have helped to raise awareness about the impact of cardiovascular disease in women, and positive changes affecting women and their health have gained momentum. Despite these efforts, there has been stagnation in the overall reduction of cardiovascular disease burden for women in the past decade. Cardiovascular disease in women remains understudied, under-recognised, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. This Commission summarises existing evidence and identifies knowledge gaps in research, prevention, treatment, and access to care for women. Recommendations from an international team of experts and leaders in the field have been generated with a clear focus to reduce the global burden of cardiovascular disease in women by 2030. This Commission represents the first effort of its kind to connect stakeholders, to ignite global awareness of sex-related and gender-related disparities in cardiovascular disease, and to provide a springboard for future research.
心血管疾病是女性死亡的主要原因。几十年来，基层宣传活动有助于提高人们对心血管疾病对女性影响的认识，并且影响女性及其健康的积极变化也在不断增强。尽管做出了这些努力，但在过去十年中，女性心血管疾病负担的整体减少仍停滞不前。女性心血管疾病的研究仍然不足，认识不足，诊断不足，治疗不足。该委员会总结了现有证据，并确定了研究、预防、治疗和获得护理方面的知识空白。来自该领域国际专家和领导人的团队提出了明确的建议，目的是到 2030 年减少全球女性心血管疾病负担。该委员会是同类委员会中的首次尝试，旨在联系利益攸关方，唤起人们对心血管疾病中与性别相关的差异的全球认识，并为未来的研究提供跳板。
