心血管疾病是美国女性的头号死因。在130万现役军人中，目前有16.3%是女性，女性退伍军人的数量预计会增加。女退伍军人患心血管疾病的比率高于平民妇女，是一个独特的群体。我们关注女性退伍军人心血管疾病护理的5个关键领域：(1)快速变化的人口结构；(2)传统危险因素的流行程度；(3)不太传统的风险因素（例如，无家可归、军人性创伤和精神健康障碍）的流行程度；(4)心血管疾病的治疗和结局；(5)该领域的研究现状及未来发展方向。这篇综述呼吁对这一快速增长、高危和代表性不足的人群的心血管护理和研究进行持续改进。可视化概述：本文提供了一个可视化概述。
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for women in the United States. Of the 1.3 million active duty service members, 16.3% are currently women, and the number of women veterans is expected to increase. Women veterans have higher rates of cardiovascular disease than civilian women and present a unique population. We focus on 5 key areas regarding cardiovascular disease care for women veterans: (1) the rapidly changing demographic; (2) prevalence of traditional risk factors; (3) prevalence of less traditional risk factors (eg, homelessness, military sexual trauma, and mental health disorders); (4) treatment and outcomes of cardiovascular disease; and (5) the current state and future directions of research in this area. This review is a call to action for continued improvements in the cardiovascular care and research for this rapidly growing, at-risk, and under-represented population.
