Abstract
In this issue of The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Preventza and colleagues1 are to be commended for their study on the representation of sex and racial and ethnic diversity in cardiothoracic surgery clinical trials in the United States. They unveil a troubling, but not unexpected finding: despite previous legislative and policy efforts, women and many racial and ethnic minority groups remain profoundly underrepresented. When the authors presented at the 56th Annual Meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, they certainly could not have imagined that their findings would become so prescient.
