    The pandemic of Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has provoked hundreds of thousands of deaths, resulting in catastrophe for humans. Although some insights have been garnered in studies on women, children and young adults infected with COVID-19, these often remain fragmented in literature. Therefore, we discussed the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on women, children and young patients, particularly those with underlying cardiovascular comorbidities or congenital heart disease. Furthermore, we gathered and distilled the existing body of literature that describes their cardiovascular complications and the recommended actions in favour of those patients toward the post-peak pandemic period. Although many questions still require answers, this article is sought to help the practicing clinician in the understanding and management of the threatening disease in special populations.

    Being a cardiologist means sacrificing big part of your private life in order to succeed and reach the goal. Furthermore, being a female cardiologist brings even heavier burden and this fact often discourages women from choosing cardiology as a life-time profession. The lack of career progress, family responsibilities, radiation exposure and its impact on female reproduction, and the discrimination and sexual harassment that are still present today are among the most common challenges in the career path of every female doctor. Although there's an improvement of gender disparities in the last decades , women cardiologists are still struggling with many problems on a daily basis. These challenges were crucial in the decision for making an organization that will represent and encourage female cardiologists around the world. Several like-minded and strong individuals came out with the idea to create an organization that will raise awareness and stand united for equal rights, and today, we proudly call it Pink International Young Academy (Pink IYAC). This organization aims to help all female cardiologists who encounter problems during their career path, and support them in fulfilling their dreams.

    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.

    Abstract: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a cluster of metabolic disorders that arise from insulin resis-tance (IR) and adipose tissue dysfunction. As a consequence, there is an increased risk for type 2 diabetes melli-tus and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). MetS is associated with a 2-fold increase in cardiovascu-lar outcomes. Earlier population analyses showed a lower prevalence of MetS in women (23.9%) in comparisonto men (27.8%), while later analyses suggest significantly reduced difference due to an increase in the preva-lence in women aged between 20 and 39. However, the prevalence of MetS in specific populations of women,such as in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, ranges from 16% to almost 50% in some geographical re-gions. Abdominal fat accumulation and IR syndrome are recognized as the most important factors in the patho-genesis of MetS. After menopause, a decline in insulin sensitivity corresponds to an increase in fat mass, circu-lating fatty acids, low-density lipoproteins, and triglycerides. Prevalence of MetS in acute coronary syndrome(ACS) is significantly more present in women (55.9%-66.3%) than in men (40.2%-47.3%) in different cohorts.Younger women with ACS had a higher mortality rate than younger men. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)remains a leading cause of death in aging women. Women with AMI had significantly higher rates of prior con-gestive heart failure, hypertension history, and diabetes. The role of androgens in CVD pathogenesis in womenhas not yet been clarified. The current review aims to provide an insight into the role of MetS components andinflammation for the development of atherosclerosis, CVD, and AMI in women.
