Representation of women in cardiovascular disease management: a systematic analysis of ESC guidelines.

Objective: Sex differences play a critical role in the presentation, progression and treatment outcomes of cardiac diseases. However, historical male predominance in clinical studies has led to disparities in evidence supporting care for both sexes. Clinical guidelines are essential for cardiovascular care, shaping practice and influencing patient outcomes.

A systematic review of cardiac clinical trials.

Computational models of the heart are now being used to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of interventions through clinical trials (ISCTs). As the adoption and acceptance of ISCTs increases, best practices for reporting the methodology and analysing the results will emerge. Focusing in the area of cardiology, we aim to evaluate the types of ISCTs, their analysis methods and their reporting standards.
