A great discussion at #ESCCongress2026 during our session on inequalities & disparities in cardiovascular health.
Excellent presentations from @RBugiardini @maryamkavousi Antonia Sambola & @CVR_TomaszGuzik on diet, sex & gender, ethnicity & race, & hypertension

💔 Why do heart attack patients with NO traditional risk factors face higher short-term mortality?
This "paradox" likely reflects index-event & dilution bias
Congrats to all co-authors! 👏

Does physician sex influence CV outcomes?
This article reviews evidence suggesting outcome differences may exist across settings, highlighting possible links to communication, guideline use, and care delivery, while noting the complexity of causality.

ALT "Ultimately, these disparities reflect structural inequities within healthcare systems and society. Cardiovascular professionals must remain aware of how their actions can perpetuate these inequities and consciously consider sex, gender, race, and ethnicity when personalizing patient treatment."

Women’s heart health remains at risk as gaps in sex-specific research, male-focused diagnostics, and low trial enrollment contribute to underdiagnosis and undertreatment.
Sex-specific studies are vital to advance care and equity in cardiology.
