Our ESC Clinical Consensus Statement on Women’s Heart Centres is published in @EurHeartJ merging 4 associations @EACVIPresident @EAPCIPresident @HFA_President @ACVCPresident Link ➡️ academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a… ESC press release ➡️ escardio.org/news/press/pres… This is the first statement to define what a Women’s Heart Centre actually is: its structure, its team, its referral pathways, and the training standards clinicians need to lead one. The problem: CVD is the #1 killer of women. Yet women face systematic delays in diagnosis and treatment and the conditions most likely to affect them (INOCA, MINOCA, pregnancy-related CVD) remain underdiagnosed everywhere. Our solution: hub-and-spoke Women’s Heart Centres, embedded in existing CV systems, not parallel structures. Advanced diagnostics, multidisciplinary care, research coordination. For the first time we define: ✅ The nucleus clinical team ✅ Adjunct specialties (cardio-obstetrics, oncology, rheumatology, psychology and more) ✅ Core vs advanced competencies ✅ A pathway toward subspecialty certification We also set milestones for national and institutional adoption. This has been a Herculean effort and an important task to lead this document with enormous gratitude to senior author @DrMarthaGulati for her mentorship and friendship - really grateful to @Drroxmehran @rafavidalperez @mmamas1973 @HeartDocSharon @Bharatishivalka @PrSusannaPrice1 @Cosyns @VictoriaDe32503 @d_trabattoni @Marta33717088 @ARakisheva @yappelman @mirvatalasnag @lesleejshaw @alessia_gimelli #WomensHealth #Cardiology #WomensHeartDisease #CardioTwitter #ESC #EACVI #HeartDisease #WomensHeartCentre #CVD #CardioEd

The EAPCI joins the world in mourning the Father of Modern Cardiology, Professor Eugene Braunwald. We have lost more than a researcher. We have lost a mentor, a visionary, and a friend to the heart. Rest in peace, Professor.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague Prof. Matteo Montorfano. He was a long-standing member of the EAPCI community, who generously shared his expertise and energy. The cardiovascular community has lost an innovative, extremely capable interventional cardiologist who educated many trainees and fellows. Our thoughts and sympathy go out to his family and colleagues in this terrible moment.
