Abstract 12: Gender Trends in Authorship of Cardiology Academic Literature - A 40-Year Perspective [Session Title: Poster Session Reception: Young Investigator Award Semi-Finalists]

Conclusions: Using a large database of published manuscripts, we found that female representation in cardiology research has increased over the last four decades. However there is still disproportionate underrepresentation in first authorship, senior authorship and in authors with the most publications. In addition to recruiting more women into cardiology, further efforts should be made to identify and address barriers in advancement for female physician-scientists.
