In this top-notch interview, Cristina Ruiz Segria, CTSNet Senior Editor—Clinical Care Providers and nurse practitioner at James Cook University Hospital, UK, speaks with Professor Julie Sanders, Professor of Cardiovascular Care at King’s College London, UK, about cardiovascular disease research priorities in women.
They discuss the project Beating Bias, focusing on its objectives, funding and collaboration, and the surveys it produces to identify a national top 10 list of research priorities for women and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This initiative aims to guide funding organizations and researchers on the most important research questions that need to be addressed. Additionally, they talk about the project’s collaboration with the James Lind Alliance and its role in prioritizing research.
The conversation also highlights the differences between men and women, including physiological variations and the historical exclusion of women from clinical trials, along with the reasons behind this ongoing issue. Furthermore, they explore designing trials and why it is important for women to learn and participate in studies related to heart disease. The discussion also covers a patient and public involvement (PPI) panel, the future of guidelines, and EuroScore.
