Highlights the need for a life-course, person-centred, and community-informed approach with early public involvement to address the under-representation of women in cardiovascular research.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in women, yet women remain under-represented in cardiovascular research. We held a roundtable discussion with two healthcare professionals and three public representatives on research priorities in women's cardiovascular health. Participants called for a life-course, person-centred approach, taking research into communities to reach under-represented voices, and involving the public before research questions are set. Joined-up primary and secondary care was seen as key to meaningful research. These insights can inform inclusive, community-informed research agendas.
