Battle of the Sexes: Differential Prognosis by Sex in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
2020, Canadian Journal of CardiologySex Differences in the Long-term Prognosis of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
2020, Canadian Journal of CardiologyRight ventricular dysfunction, late gadolinium enhancement, and female gender predict poor outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
2014, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Female gender had also shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular death in patients with CHF due to ICM or DCM in a prior study by Bistola V et al. [21]. Besides, in an Italian multicenter study [22] of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, women presented with more advanced disease with regard to symptoms and LV dimensions as well as a trend toward poorer prognosis. However, a limiting factor for evaluating gender-related aspects is the small number of women usually included in CHF studies.
Sex and Gender Differences in Myocarditis and Dilated Cardiomyopathy
2013, Current Problems in CardiologyThe role of gender and organ specific autoimmunity
2012, Autoimmunity ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Several immune-modulating therapies have been suggested and studied in DCM, i.e., IVIG and glucocorticoids [78,87,88]. Nevertheless, it was reported that the occurrence of autoantibodies in idiopathic DCM is unrelated to gender [89]. It remains unknown as to what extent DCM and congestive heart failure (CHF) can be attributable to autoimmune pathophysiology, since proof of autoimmunity requires specialized tests not usually conducted [84].
Comparison of women versus men hospitalized with heart failure (from a 20-year registry in a Middle-Eastern country 1991-2010)
2012, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :During the 20-year study period, an overall improvement in survival occurred in the patients with HF, regardless of gender. The prevalence and clinical characteristics of women hospitalized for HF has been described by many investigators6–22,25–29 (Table 5). Some of these studies were single- or multicenter center registries,8,9,12,14,16,17,19–21,22,26–28 and others were post hoc analyses of randomized trials.6,7,10,11,13,15,18,25
