About

Chiara Bernelli is a leading interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on gender disparities in cardiovascular care, particularly within catheterization laboratories. Her landmark work, the Gender‐CATH Study (2021), with 17 citations, provides critical insights into the evolving demographics of Italian interventional cardiology, highlighting the increasing representation of women in the field. Bernelli’s contributions extend beyond mere data collection; she identifies systemic gaps in workplace adaptation and patient outcomes related to gender, advocating for structural changes to support diversity. By analyzing national survey results, she has illuminated how gender dynamics affect professional development and clinical practices, making her a pivotal voice in cardiovascular equity. Her research not only advances academic understanding but also informs policy recommendations for more inclusive medical environments. Bernelli’s work is essential for students and researchers exploring the intersection of cardiology, gender studies, and healthcare reform, offering a blueprint for addressing disparities in procedural specialties.
