Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain one of the most crucial burdens for public health. Specifically, for women, CVDs have a devastating effect on prognosis and mortality, which tends to become more severe, due to lack of knowledge and low awareness by healthcare professionals and general populations. Position statements by organizations and regulatory bodies recognize the fact that women have worse outcomes when it comes to their cardiovascular health, compared to men, and emphasize the urgent need that this issue needs to be addressed. Even though, general guidelines and recommendations have been launched, gender-specific ones are scarce, due to the very low number of women participants in clinical trials and scientific research. The present work aims to display a summary of position statements of official and scientific organizations concerning the cardiovascular diseases’ impact on women’s health, as well as existing guidelines and proposed future initiatives.
