Gender inequalities in health care have been known for more than three decades, although
the inclusion of sensitivity in this field is far from being achieved. In clinical practice, this
translates into prehospital delays, a reduction in health care and even less access to invasive
procedures in the case of women. As far as cardiovascular pathology is concerned, knowledge
about the differences in the appearance and management of various conditions between
sexes has increased notably, although it is not exposed in the literature an extensive
evaluation of the recommendations aimed at reducing these inequalities. In order to
incorporate a perspective based in equity, it is necessary to improve knowledge about the
structural features that determine inequalities and inequity. Among these, a specific aspect of
great impact on clinical action is the clinical practice guidelines. For this reason, using a survey
instrument based in Rico’s et. al suggestion from 2013, the main objective of this study was
to analyze the gender perspective of the 10 most recent European clinical practice guidelines
on cardiovascular pathology published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The
results of this survey were classified according to the gender sensitivity of each of the items
considered in the database, which shows that the gender perspective is insufficient in general
terms, with 8 of the 10 guidelines analyzed having an overall percentage of gender sensitivity
<50%. However, these results are far from the case of the Clinical Practice Guideline on the
prevention of cardiovascular diseases, which has shown a gender perspective that complies
with 82% of the items considered. On the other hand, the study reveals that the section of the
guidelines in which most consideration is given to gender is the formulation of
recommendations, although it is true that biases are detected in the presumption of
homogeneity in the formulation of clinical questions, as well as universalization of results as a
consequence of an evident underrepresentation of women in the greater proportion of
reference clinical trials. Therefore, there is a need to broaden the consideration of gender both
in research and in the inclusion of the results in clinical practice by means such as the
development of Clinical Practice Guidelines with an equity-based approach, measures that
transcend individuality and are aimed at reducing inequalities at the collective level, and
strategies that allow the subsequent impact of these guidelines to be evaluated.
