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.

Background: The proportion of female ophthalmologists in Germany has risen to approximately 50% in recent years, and approximately 66% of medical students are women. This represents a reversal of the past situation with a male predominance. Despite this change, many international studies show that women are still underrepresented at scientific conferences, particularly among invited speakers, chairpersons, and program committees.
