The aim of this special focus is to highlight the gaps in knowledge, disparities in care and differences in the demographics, risk factors, procedural success and long-term outcomes in women undergoing transcatheter heart valve therapies. We hope to expand on adjunctive heart failure therapy, other device therapies and rehabilitation in patients with structural heart diseases.
