This review describes and evaluates the representation of women in cardiovascular randomized controlled trials (RCT), it reports significant under-representation of women in clinical trials both as participants and researchers and discusses the ethical implications of under-representation. The under-representation of women as participants in cardiovascular RCTs is evident in trials investigating cardiovascular drugs, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure and interventional procedures and devices. Under-representation of women is also evident in the authorship of cardiovascular clinical trials and in trial leadership roles, and under-representation of women as trial investigators is independently associated with under- recruitment of women as trial participants.

Despite the acknowledged under-representation of women in cardiac surgery globally and evidence that surgeon-patient gender concordance enhances postoperative outcomes, precise figures remain poorly defined.

Despite under-representation, they advance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), particularly microbiology. In Mexico, more efforts are needed to create an inclusive community, driving progress enriched by women's perspectives in science.
