AB  - AIMS: Women's participation is steadily growing in medical schools, but they are 
      still not sufficiently represented in cardiology, particularly in cardiology 
      leadership positions. We present the contemporary distribution of women leaders 
      in cardiology departments in the World Health Organization European region. 
      METHODS AND RESULTS: Between August and December 2020, we applied purposive 
      sampling to collect data and analyse gender distribution of heads of cardiology 
      department in university/third level hospitals in 23 countries: Austria, 
      Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, 
      North Macedonia, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, 
      Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the UK. Age, cardiology 
      subspecialty, and number of scientific publications were recorded for a subgroup 
      of cardiology leaders for whom data were available. A total of 849 cardiology 
      departments were analysed. Women leaders were only 30% (254/849) and were younger 
      than their men counterpart (female symbol 52.2 +/- 7.7 years old vs. male symbol 58.1 +/- 7.6 years old, P 
      = 0.00001). Most women leaders were non-interventional experts (female symbol 82% vs. male symbol 46%, 
      P < 0.00001) and had significantly fewer scientific publications than men female symbol 16 
      [interquartile range (IQR) 2-41] publications vs. male symbol 44 (IQR 9-175) publications, 
      P < 0.00001. CONCLUSION: Across the World Health Organization European region, 
      there is a significant gender disparity in cardiology leadership positions. 
      Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace is a priority to achieve the full 
      potential and leverage the full talents of both women and men.
