International Conference on Cardiovascular Disease in Women (ICOCDIW - 27)

About the event

• Sex- and Gender-Specific Pathophysiology: How cardiovascular disease mechanisms, coronary anatomy, and plaque morphology differ uniquely in women compared to men. • Reproductive and Pregnancy-Related Risk Factors: The long-term cardiac impacts of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). • Menopause and Hormonal Transitions: How early menopause (before age 45) and estrogen withdrawal influence vascular inflammation, blood pressure regulation, and lipid profiles. • Atypical Clinical Presentations: Strategies for recognizing non-traditional and subtle symptoms of ischemic heart disease, microvascular dysfunction, and acute myocardial infarction in female patients. • Diagnostic and Imaging Innovations: Tailoring high-resolution cardiac imaging, biomarkers, and stress testing protocols to account for smaller vessel structures and unique female presentation patterns. • Addressing Healthcare Disparities: Bridging gaps in diagnosis, clinical trial representation, and personalized cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation strategies designed specifically for women
