[The gender gap in cardiology (does it still exist?)].

Gender gap is the gap between males and females related to gender. Several studies demonstrate that it has not been overcome yet, and it appears evident in differences in career chances due to gender. Such a gap is evident in the health system, particularly in cardiology. In the present review, gender gap in cardiology is addressed, considering different subspecialties, consequences in terms of career, and economic issues, causes of these inequalities, and cultural changes that might contribute to reduce gender gap.
