The Impact of Sex and Gender on Stroke

Kathryn M. Rexrode et al.

Summary: Women bear a disproportionate burden of stroke mortality and disability. Both biological sex and sociocultural gender contribute to differences in stroke risk factors, assessment, treatment, and outcomes. This review outlines the current knowledge of the impact of sex and gender on stroke, while also identifying research gaps and areas for future inquiry.

Pregnancy and Reproductive Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Women

Anna C. O'Kelly et al.

Summary: In addition to conventional risk factors, women also face sex-specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Key stages of a woman's reproductive history, such as early and late menarche, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and absence of breastfeeding, are associated with increased future cardiovascular disease risk. The menopause transition period also represents an accelerated cardiovascular disease risk, with timing, mechanism, and symptoms of menopause playing a role. Differences in conventional risk factors explain some, but not all, of the observed associations between reproductive history and cardiovascular disease; further research is needed to understand hormonal effects and unique sex-specific mechanisms. A history of reproductive risk factors provides an opportunity for comprehensive screening, refinement of risk assessment, and implementation of prevention strategies to optimize women's long-term cardiometabolic health.

Sex Differences in Peripheral Artery Disease

Maria Pabon et al.

Summary: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) has similar or higher prevalence in women compared to men, but there are sex differences in the mechanisms and clinical manifestations. Despite available treatments, there are still sex differences in treatment and outcomes.

Research Goes Red: Early Experience With a Participant-Centric Registry

Susan C. Gilchrist et al.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in women, requires personalized approaches to address persistent gaps in research and prevention. The Research Goes Red registry (RGR), launched by the American Heart Association and Verily, provides an online platform for participants and researchers to expand knowledge and conduct studies.

Associations of gestational cardiovascular health with pregnancy outcomes: the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome study

Amanda M. Perak et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association of gestational cardiovascular health with adverse maternal and newborn outcomes. The results showed that more favorable cardiovascular health during 24 to 32 weeks of gestation was associated with lower risks for several adverse pregnancy outcomes in a multinational cohort.

Ten-Year Differences in Women's Awareness Related to Coronary Heart Disease: Results of the 2019 American Heart Association National Survey: A Special Report From the American Heart Association

Mary Cushman et al.

Summary: This study found a decline in women's awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women from 2009 to 2019, particularly among Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black women, and younger women. This highlights the need for increased focus on women's health and education to reverse these trends.

Bending the Curve in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Bethesda+40 and Beyond

David Calvin Goff et al.

Summary: More than 40 years after the 1978 Bethesda Conference on the Declining Mortality from Coronary Heart Disease provided a blueprint for understanding declining rates of coronary heart disease, recent data suggests that the decline may have ended or even reversed. While mortality rates for overall cardiovascular disease are decelerating, those for heart failure are increasing. The symposium discussed trends in cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes epidemics, as well as opportunities for promoting cardiovascular health and preventing disease.

Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics-2021 Update A Report From the American Heart Association

Salim S. Virani et al.

Summary: The American Heart Association, in partnership with the National Institutes of Health, publishes annual statistics on heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including the impact of health behaviors and factors on cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update covers a range of clinical heart and circulatory conditions, providing data on quality of care, procedures, and economic costs. It serves as a critical resource for various stakeholders seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Associations of Maternal Cardiovascular Health in Pregnancy With Offspring Cardiovascular Health in Early Adolescence

Amanda M. Perak et al.

Summary: Maternal cardiovascular health during pregnancy is significantly associated with offspring cardiovascular health during early adolescence, indicating a potential lifelong impact of maternal health status on offspring. This multinational cohort study reveals that poorer maternal cardiovascular health is correlated with higher risks of poorer cardiovascular health in offspring during early adolescence.

Race- and Sex-Specific Population Attributable Fractions of Incident Heart Failure A Population-Based Cohort Study From the Lifetime Risk Pooling Project

Arjun Sinha et al.

Summary: By studying race and sex groups, it was found that hypertension had the highest population attributable fraction (PAF) for HF in Black men and women, while obesity had the highest PAF in White men and women. Diabetes contributed disproportionately to HF in Black women. The cumulative PAF of all 5 risk factors was the highest in Black women.

Danielle L. Beatty Moody et al.

Summary: The study found that older, male African Americans with lower socioeconomic status experienced more racial, lifetime, and multiple social status-based discrimination, a pattern not observed among Whites. Among Whites, women reported more frequent discrimination across multiple social statuses compared to men.

Association of Dual Eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid With Heart Failure Quality and Outcomes Among Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Hospitals

Ehete Bahiru et al.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between a hospital's proportion of patients with dual eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid and heart failure (HF) quality of care and outcomes. The results showed that hospitals with a higher share of dual-eligible patients provided care with lower rates of key HF quality measures and higher 30-day readmissions compared to hospitals with lower dual-eligibility rates.

Trends in prepregnancy cardiovascular health in the United States, 2011-2019

Michael C. Wang et al.

Summary: The study evaluated contemporary patterns in prepregnancy cardiovascular health (CVH) in the United States. It found that overall, less than half of pregnant women had optimal prepregnancy CVH, and optimal prepregnancy CVH declined in each race/ethnicity, age, insurance, and WIC subgroup between 2011-2019 in the US. However, there were persistent disparities by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status.
