Women had a higher risk of death in the first 90 days after simultaneous heart–kidney transplantation. Clinical profile differences & perioperative optimization highlight opportunities to improve outcomes for women. Sex-specific evidence is essential. onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

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…

None of this year's science Nobel Prizes have gone to women. The number of these prizes to go to women remains at 27 out of more than 600. See how many you can name in our quiz: nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

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.
