Women with AF & left ventricular dysfunction saw similar improvements to men after catheter ablation, justifying equitable access to treatment. However, women were only 20% of the study population. Better representation is vital to inform equitable care. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Women represent approximately half of the atrial fibrillation (AF) population, yet they remain underrepresented in AF clinical studies.

Women were more likely to receive a heart transplant & less likely to be removed from the waiting list due to deterioration or death. Yet their adjusted survival was lower at both 1 and 5 years. We must understand the modifiable factors impacting this. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacad…

Only 13% of applicants for @escardio Board positions are women, and only one woman applied for a top executive role. Leadership gaps won’t close through targets alone. Women need pathways, mentorship, and sponsorship long before application deadlines. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a…

Makes a critical educational point on critical misunderstanding of concept of self-sufficiency in donation & transplantation: taking responsibility for meeting needs of your population doesn’t mean you have to do it all by yourself: International collaboration is valuable.

In a study of 4,924 S-ICD recipients, women had lower risks of appropriate and inappropriate shocks, but higher risks of chronic pain and lead dislodgement. Sex-specific evidence like this matters when selecting therapies and anticipating complications. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep…
