Despite some improvements in cardiovascular care, women today remain "understudied, underdiagnosed and undertreated" according to the first scientific statement from the American Heart Association on heart attacks in women.

The statement, published in Circulation, concluded that the undertreatment with guideline-based recommendations is "leading to worse outcomes and increased rates of readmissions, reinfarctions and deaths in the first year after MI."

MedPage Today invited five cardiologists to discuss the statement.
Featured in the video discussion are:

Nanette Wenger MD, Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta

Pam Douglas, MD, Ursula Geller Professor for Research in Cardiovascular Disease, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, N.C.

Dina Sparano, MD, Cardiovascular Disease, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland

Deborah Kwon, MD, Cardiologist, Cleveland Clinic

Mary McLaughlin, MD, Associate Professor, Medicine, Cardiology, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City
