ABSTRACT
The relevance of gender medicine in cardiovascular prevention is still underestimated, and there is a lack of viable women-specific preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies. To ensure women have equal access to cardiovascular prevention, cardiovascular disease risk stratification needs to consider gender-specific factors related to women reproductive cycle phases together with the different impact that traditional risk factors have on men and women. The aim of this document is to improve the patient journey for cardiovascular risk prevention in women, enhancing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the role of the various professional figures involved, starting with the general practitioner, as the main actor of the first risk stratification. The goal of the proposed patient journey is to ensure effective risk assessment of cardiovascular disease in women, by raising attention on the risk factors related to different hormonal phases and to bridge the sex and gender gap in cardiovascular prevention. We hope that this journey can be implemented as uniformly as possible in clinical practice throughout Italy.
