Inspite of the fact that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women worldwide, women remain underrepresented in heart disease research.
Women accounted for less than 40% of all people enrolled in cardiovascular clinical trials from 2010 through 2017, according to a study published in the journal Circulation.
