Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of premature death in most European populations, with ischaemic heart disease being one of the leading causes of hospital consultations. Most recurrent cardiovascular events occur in survivors of an acute coronary syndrome. Poor adherence to medication is common among patients with this condition, so it is important to develop appropriate tools to measure it. In this session we will explain how an adherence questionnaire and the subsequent validation process was designed, taking the gender perspective into account. To do this, a multicentre observational, descriptive, cross-sectional questionnaire validation study will be conducted, from which it is hoped to obtain a freely available questionnaire to measure therapeutic adherence in patients with ischaemic heart disease and that takes gender differences into account
