New research, endorsed by Women as One, is shining a light on another disparity that could be impacting women’s outcomes: most women showing symptoms of aortic stenosis have never been referred to a cardiologist.
Historic underrepresentation of women in clinical trials has led to medical gaslighting; women are often diagnosed and treated differently by doctors than men are, resulting in missed diagnoses, delayed treatment, and poor health outcomes. Despite the prevalence of heart disease among women, awareness is low, with 26% not having heard of the most common heart-related conditions. Racial disparities may present further opportunities for awareness among women at risk for heart disease. For more information, please visit MyInteractiveASJourney.com.
