About
Emanuela Piccaluga is a leading interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on gender disparities, professional well-being, and workforce dynamics in cardiovascular medicine. She is best known for spearheading the Gender‐CATH Study, a landmark national survey that systematically examined gender issues in Italian catheterization laboratories. This work, published in 2021 with 17 citations, provided critical insights into the demographics, challenges, and evolving roles of women in interventional cardiology—a field traditionally dominated by men. Piccaluga’s contributions have helped illuminate systemic barriers and fostered dialogue on equity and inclusion within the specialty. Beyond this, her broader research portfolio addresses occupational stress, burnout, and the impact of workplace culture on physician performance and patient outcomes. Her findings have informed policy discussions and training reforms, making her a respected voice in cardiology circles. With a career dedicated to advancing both clinical excellence and professional equity, Piccaluga continues to inspire a new generation of cardiologists to pursue meaningful, evidence-based change in their field.
