Abstract

A mong the accolades most valued by a clinical cardiolo- gist is to be selected to deliver the annual James B. Herrick Lecture.This lecture honors the legacy of James Herrick as an icon for the cardiac clinician/scientist.I am enormously grateful to the Council on Clinical Cardiology for this singular recognition.My choice to address "Women and Coronary Heart Disease: A Century after Herrick" will show that this problem remains understudied, underdiagnosed, and undertreated.

  • Many cardiovascular risk prediction algorithms have a history of being trained primarily on male patient data, leading to inaccurate risk assessment in female patients with different symptoms and risk factors.

    “For example, many cardiovascular risk prediction algorithms have a history of being trained primarily on male patient data [68, 69]. This has led to an inaccurate risk assessment in female patients with different symptoms and risk factors.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
