Women’s cardiovascular health at risk: an urgent call to protect the US biomedical research system and prevent setbacks in women’s health research
This paper calls on the scientific community and academic institutions to take urgent actions to protect research and infrastructure, ensuring that hard-won gains in understanding sex-specific cardiovascular disease mechanisms are not lost in an already underfunded field. We provide a roadmap with recommended actions and implementation strategies to address challenges and threats to women's cardiovascular health research.
