What is the representation of women 
in the body of work that influences worldwide #HeartFailure practice ?
Although >1 year from conception to publication, the findings we share in this new work, out now in @CircHF, are as important as ever

2/8: What we know:
are underrepresented in #cardiology
Publication authorship reflects this disparity
Despite increasing numbers of #WomenInMedicine, women cardiologists have
-
1st & last author 
,
- NIH

3/8: Available benchmarking data from @AAMCtoday & others show us that % of women #HeartFailure trainees >> #SCAIWIN & #EPeeps
But, int'l survey data from @YasMoayedi @KiranKhush1 @JeffTeuteberg in @CircHF last year say sex-based imbalances still exist

4/8: In this context, we wanted to examine how this relatively higher % of women in HF translates to the representation of women as leaders of & participants in #HeartFailure research
To do this, we analyzed @ACCinTouch @AHAScience @escardio Guidelines + contemporary HF trials

5/8: 
findings of Guideline analysis:
< 20% of 1st authors of pubs ref'd in @ACCinTouch @AHAScience @escardio Class I Recs are women
< 15% of senior authors of are women
Proportions of women authors increased modestly from from 1986 to 2016

6/8: findings of Clinical Trial (CT) analysis:
Of 118 phase II–IV HF CTs, ~16%
had woman 1st or senior author
Woman lead author associated with more total woman authors
CTs with higher %s of
women authors tended to have higher enrollments

7/8: Much more data on unique authors, publication counts per men and women authors, and clinical trial characteristics in the manuscript!

8/8: We hope our findings add support to the ongoing conversations about the many benefits of increasing #diversity, #equity, & #inclusion in cardiovascular medicine
