OBJECTIVE
To determine the global diversity in geographical and economic class of countries contributed to group of American cardiology meetings in 2019 and 2020 (prior to and during COVID-19 pandemic).
METHODS
Cross sectional recording of contributing authors' countries for abstracts of three American College of Cardiology Congress (ACC), Heart Failure Society of America meeting (HFSA) and Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting. Analysis of these contributions according to continent and World Bank Class of the contributing countries was done.
RESULTS
total 10,609 contributions from 95 countries were analysed. After excluding US, Asia had the highest contribution to ACC meetings in 2019 (45.44%) and 2020 (42.63%), = 0.0002, while Europe had the highest contributions to both HFSA (58.78% in 2019 and 47.42% in 2020), = 0.07 and TCT (63.25% in 2019 and 55.86% in 2020), = 0.0002. Middle income countries (MIC) contributions increased from 14.96%, 10.02%, 6.06% in 2019 (pre COVID19) to 19.29%, 19.34%, 17.52% in 2020 (COVID19 era) in ACC, HFSA and TCT respectively.
CONCLUSION
Researchers from low- and middle-income countries are under-represented in high impact American cardiology meetings with higher contributions in COVID-19 era. It is pivotal to enhance collaboration with them to reflect the real solidarity for which we are calling during and beyond the pandemic.
目的
确定2019年和2020年（新冠疫情之前及期间）向美国心脏病学会议投稿的国家在地理和经济类别方面的全球多样性。
方法
对美国心脏病学会（ACC）的三次大会、美国心力衰竭学会会议（HFSA）和经导管心血管治疗（TCT）会议的摘要投稿作者所在国家进行横断面记录。根据投稿国家的洲别和世界银行分类对这些投稿进行分析。
结果
共分析了来自95个国家的10609份投稿。排除美国后，亚洲在2019年（45.44%）和2020年（42.63%）对ACC会议的投稿占比最高，P = 0.0002，而欧洲对HFSA会议（2019年为58.78%，2020年为47.42%），P = 0.07以及TCT会议（2019年为63.25%，2020年为55.86%），P = 0.0002的投稿占比最高。中等收入国家（MIC）在ACC、HFSA和TCT会议中的投稿占比分别从2019年（新冠疫情之前）的14.96%、10.02%、6.06%增至2020年（新冠疫情时代）的19.29%、19.34%、17.52%。
结论
在具有高影响力的美国心脏病学会议中，低收入和中等收入国家的研究人员代表不足，而在新冠疫情时代其投稿占比有所增加。加强与他们的合作对于体现我们在疫情期间及之后所倡导的真正团结至关重要。
