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.
