This is the first statement to define what a Women’s Heart Centre actually is: its structure, its team, its referral pathways, and the training standards clinicians need to lead one.

The problem: CVD is the #1 killer of women. Yet women face systematic delays in diagnosis and treatment and the conditions most likely to affect them (INOCA, MINOCA, pregnancy-related CVD) remain underdiagnosed everywhere.

Our solution: hub-and-spoke Women’s Heart Centres, embedded in existing CV systems, not parallel structures. Advanced diagnostics, multidisciplinary care, research coordination.

For the first time we define:
✅ The nucleus clinical team
✅ Adjunct specialties (cardio-obstetrics, oncology, rheumatology, psychology and more)
✅ Core vs advanced competencies
✅ A pathway toward subspecialty certification

We also set milestones for national and institutional adoption.

This has been a Herculean effort and an important task to lead this document with enormous gratitude to senior author @DrMarthaGulati for her mentorship and friendship - really grateful to @Drroxmehran @rafavidalperez @mmamas1973 @HeartDocSharon @Bharatishivalka @PrSusannaPrice1 @Cosyns @VictoriaDe32503 @d_trabattoni @Marta33717088 @ARakisheva @yappelman @mirvatalasnag @lesleejshaw @alessia_gimelli

@NEJM @cardiojaydoc02 Medical decisions are always an informed consensus of medical need, patient expectations and social/moral beliefs that include also religious aspects. They are multi factorial and that’s why multidisciplinary meetings are so important.

[Jennifer H. Mieres, MD , FACC, MASNC, FAHA @DrJMieres]

Empowering women’s cardiovascular health requires more than awareness—it requires systems, standard, & specialized care.
Congratulations & thank you to @DrMarthaGulati @JGrapsa and co-authors on this landmark ESC clinical consensus statement. Women’s Heart Centers: a blueprint for advancing equitable, multidisciplinary, sex-specific CV care across a woman’s life course. A testament to decades of leadership turning evidence into action. https://t.co/g9LrsVpvHN

🇪🇸Cardiólogos españoles participan en un consenso europeo para impulsar unidades especializadas en salud cardiovascular de la mujer.

🗞️El documento, publicado en European Heart Journal (@ESC_Journals), propone crear centros específicos para reducir desigualdades en diagnóstico, tratamiento e investigación cardiovascular en mujeres.

Antonia Sambola (@Antonia_Sambola) y Rafael Vidal (@rafavidalperez) representan a la cardiología española en esta iniciativa estratégica de la @escardio y sus asociaciones científicas. ¡Un orgullo!
