Professor Eva Swahn

Professor Eva Swahn is a Swedish cardiologist and professor at Linköping University and the Department of Cardiology at Linköping University Hospital. Her career has been characterised by a strong commitment to advancing research and improving clinical care in acute coronary syndromes (ACS), with a particular focus on gender differences in diagnosis, management, and outcomes. Swahn’s research has consistently highlighted how women and men may present differently with ACS and how these differences influence clinical decision making, treatment strategies, and prognosis. Her influential work, such as the widely cited review Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes from a Gender Perspective, has contributed to a greater awareness that women have historically been underrepresented in cardiovascular research and may receive less intensive treatment in the acute phase of ACS.
