心血管疾病（CVD）是美国成年女性死亡的主要原因，然而CVD在女性中被低估。在种族/民族少数群体中的女性的护理差距更为明显。在本综述中，我们讨论社交媒体（SoMe）作为促进女性心血管（CV）健康和解决和潜在地减少照护差距的工具的作用，特别是在一般心脏病学（针对动脉粥样硬化性心血管病）、心肌肿瘤学和心脏产科方面。我们还简要讨论了女性CV健康作为心脏病学中女性的共同重点（虽然不是唯一的），并介绍了SoMe在心脏病学分支领域中推进的实用性研究。在一般心脏病学、心肌肿瘤学和心脏产科的领导者们策划SoMe策略来推动各自的领域并引起对女性群体和种族/民族少数人的心血管健康差距的关注。除了这些用途之外，心脏病学中的女性还经常使用SoMe来鼓励在心脏病学中发展职业，分享经验、挑战和支持和职业发展的资源，而在性别和种族/民族方面为少数群体争取盟友的男性也使用SoMe来实现这些目的。在此，我们强调了社交媒体在促进女性心血管健康方面的作用和多种应用。我们讨论了社交媒体的五个主要作用：提高公众意识，以快速、便捷的方式传播医学文献，促进专业网络，作为医学会议平台，以及赋权患者。这些核心策略是通过一般心脏病学、心肌肿瘤学和心脏产科的视角来讨论的。我们还展示了如何利用这些应用程序来增加女性在心脏病学中的代表性，同时支持增加对女性心血管健康的关注。 © 2022年作者（专属于SpringerScience+BusinessMedia，LLC，SpringerNature的一部分）。

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in adult women in the USA, yet CVD is underrecognized in women. Disparities in care are further pronounced in women of racial/ethnic minority backgrounds. In this review, we discuss the role of social media (SoMe) as a tool to (i) promote women's cardiovascular (CV) health and (ii) address and potentially reduce gaps in care, particularly in general cardiology (targeting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease), cardio-oncology, and cardio-obstetrics. We also briefly discuss women's CV health as a common, although not unique, focus of women in cardiology on SoMe.Studies have suggested the utility of social media to help advance subspecialties of cardiology. Leaders within general cardiology, cardio-oncology, and cardio-obstetrics have curated social media strategies to advance their respective fields and call attention to cardiovascular health disparities in female populations and racial/ethnic minorities. In addition to these types of uses, women in cardiology also frequently use SoMe to encourage a career in cardiology and to share experiences, challenges, and resources for support and career advancement as healthcare professionals; men in cardiology and especially those who are allies for sex and racial/ethnic minorities also use SoMe for these means. Herein, we highlight the role and myriad applications of social media in the promotion of women's cardiovascular health. We discuss five primary roles of social media: increasing public awareness, disseminating medical literature in a rapid and accessible fashion, facilitating professional networking, serving as a platform for medical conferences, and empowering patients. These core strategies are discussed through the lens of general cardiology, cardio-oncology, and cardio-obstetrics. We also demonstrate how these applications can be leveraged to increase representation of women in cardiology, also supporting an increased focus on women's cardiovascular health.© 2022.
