Abstract

We are presently facing the rapid progression and uncontrolled spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, with uncertainties in its management. There are national and international guidelines in general for the diagnosis and management of COVID and precautions needed for non-COVID patients. There is an apparent gender disparity in mortality due to COVID 19, which is less in women than in men. However, many diseases are specific to (like pregnancy-related complications and ovarian carcinoma) or more frequent (many rheumatological diseases and mitral stenosis) in females, and have hardly been discussed in the context of the COVID pandemic. Moreover, recommendations are not available for our population. We, from the Women in Cardiology and Related Sciences (WINCARS) association, prepared a consensus scientific statement for the female population in this COVID-19 era.
