[Gender perspective in Cardiogeriatrics: can we improve the care of older female patients?]

Year: 2025

Type: editorial

Abstract: Yentl syndrome was coined in 1991 by Bernadine Healy, director of the National Institutes of Health, who described how cardiovascular research focused on symptoms in men, leading to erroneous clinical judgments in women. Within cardiogeriatrics, heart failure is one of the most common pathologies, generating significant consumption of healthcare resources. Therefore, providing the best scientific evidence for these patients should be a priority.
