Cansu Kose: Cardiovascular Disease in Women Requires More Than Male-Derived Frameworks

Cansu Kose, PhD Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, shared Lale Tokgözoğlu’s post on LinkedIn, adding:

”We often talk about ‘personalized medicine,’ but much of our current medical knowledge is still derived from male-dominant research frameworks.

This recent review by Lale Tokgözoglu, whom I admire and had the privilege of being taught by at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, clearly lays out how cardiovascular disease in women is shaped by distinct biological pathways, risk enhancers, and social determinants, yet continues to be assessed with tools and guidelines largely optimized for men.

It’s not just a cardiology issue. It’s a structural problem in medicine.

Sex-aware research is not a niche topic. It’s a requirement for good science.”

Lale Tokgözoğlu, Professor of Cardiology at Hacettepe University, shared a post on LinkedIn:

”We have just published on CV risk factors in women”
