Particularities of physical training and control of risk factors in the transgender and gender-diverse population
Arch Cardiol Mex. 2023;93(Supl):13-17. doi: 10.24875/ACM.M23000088.ABSTRACTThe transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) population holds significant relevance concerning exercise and sports practices. Specific challenges are highlighted, such as physical inactivity driven by internal and external reasons, including discrimination in sports environments. Psychological aspects and hormonal therapy effects create implications for hindering participation in sports competitions. Disparities in cardiovascular risk factors are also mentioned, emphasizing the need for inclusive sports policies based on scientific evidence. The article...

Components of hostility and discrimination in cardiology
Arch Cardiol Mex. 2023;93(Supl):9-12. doi: 10.24875/ACM.M23000087.ABSTRACTThe Gender-Diverse (TGD) population in Mexico faces significant health challenges, such as limited access to healthcare and a prevalence of adverse conditions. Cardiology is crucial for this population due to a high prevalence of risk factors and cardiovascular diseases. Despite a lack of precise data, it is estimated that 0.5-1.5% of the population identifies as TGD. They encounter sociocultural challenges, including discrimination and stigma, contributing to health issues and a lack of treatment access. Cardiovascular risk factors, hormone self-adm...

Cardiovascular disease risk in the transgender population
Arch Cardiol Mex. 2023;93(Supl):26-30. doi: 10.24875/ACM.M23000091.ABSTRACTThis review summarizes the impact of gender affirming hormone therapy used in the transgendered population and the classic and emerging risk factors on cardiovascular outcomes and surrogate markers of cardiovascular health. There is a growing body of evidence that people who are transgender and gender diverse are impacted by disparities across a variety of cardiovascular risk factors compared with their peers who are cisgender. Previously, disparities have been reported in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality across this group as a result of a hig...

Cancer and cardiotoxicity in the transgender population
Arch Cardiol Mex. 2023;93(Supl):23-25. doi: 10.24875/ACM.M23000090.ABSTRACTThe relationship between cancer diagnosis and cardiovascular diseases is complex, with newly diagnosed patients facing a higher risk of coronary disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Compared to the general population, they have two to six times more risk of dying from cardiovascular causes. Cardiovascular complications arising from chemotherapy and radiotherapy, along with social and healthcare access disparities, complicate the collection of accurate data on the incidence of cancer and cardiotoxicity in marginalized populations. Among t...

Arrhythmias in transgender individuals
Arch Cardiol Mex. 2023;93(Supl):18-22. doi: 10.24875/ACM.M23000089.ABSTRACTThe need to improve access to health services for the transgender community has become evident, especially concerning cardiovascular risk, which is higher compared to the general population. Surgical procedures and hormone therapies are common in this population to affirm gender identity, but they pose challenges as they are associated with disruptions in lipid metabolism, body fat concentration, and insulin resistance. Additionally, there is an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events such as venous thromboembolism, stroke, and myocardial in...

Toward a better understanding of cardiovascular risk in the transgender and gender-diverse community: a supplement to the Tijuana Declaration
This article aims to unpack the numerous factors that lead to it. An example is the social stigma faced by members of the TGD community, which leads to increased stress and risk for cardiovascular complications. TGD patients are also more likely to have insufficient access to health care, and those that do receive care are often faced with providers that are not adequately educated about the unique needs of their community. Finally, there is some evidence to suggest that gender-affirming hormone therapies have an impact on cardiovascular health, but studies on this subject often have methodological concerns and contradicto...
