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

This ESC consensus outlines the need for Women’s Heart Centers across Europe to close gaps in women’s CV care. Priorities include integrated multidisciplinary care, recognition of sex-specific risk factors, and stronger education, training and research. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a…

Congratulations to our graduating cardiology fellows… they collectively decided the outside world was too scary, so they’re all staying. Lucky to have you guys one more year❤️‍🔥

Women's hearts deserve dedicated care. New ESC clinical consensus from EACVI, EAPCI, HFA & ACVC defines what a true Women's Heart Centre should look like. Read more in #EHJ. doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/eh… #women #cardiotwitter @ESC_Journals @escardio

Assessment of diastolic dysfunction remains one of the most challenging areas in echocardiography. Our new manuscript highlights key challenges, practical solutions, and common misconceptions in diastolic function evaluation. academic.oup.com/ehjcimaging… One of the central concepts is the “diastolic dysfunction framework,” which places the traditional echocardiographic definition of diastolic dysfunction into a broader clinical and pathophysiologic context. @JGrapsa @EHJCVIEiC

Have you seen the new EHJ paper on Women's Health Centers? What great leadership from @JGrapsa @DrMarthaGulati @jstonemd @dranulala What is great is that it offers new hope that we can use these centers to target critical research for women... See our new Rowan Center!
