Abstract

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.
