Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of morbidity, mortality and disability worldwide. Strong evidence exists that the interplay of sex/gender with age plays a specific and relevant role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and its clinical presentation. As several knowledge gaps are still present regarding this relationship, novel research evidence needs to be obtained, also by increasing women participation to clinical studies. Moreover, the age-related discrimination, or ageism, should also be counteracted since it represents a major limit for access to care for older persons of both sexes. Diagnostic and prevention protocols for CVD management should then be improved according to these considerations, along with innovative biomedical and communication strategies.
