Giulio Francesco Romiti et al. Cardiol Clin. 2022 May.

Abstract

Understanding the role of sex- and gender-related factors, when dealing with a global growing epidemic such as heart failure, is a much needed and unmet goal for health care providers and scientists in order to design targeted strategies, aimed at improving both clinical and patient reported outcomes measures in women and men with heart failure. The present review provides an overview of the current available evidence on sex- and gender-related differences in heart failure.

Keywords: Clinical outcomes; Clinical trials; Gender; Pharmacology; Sex; Sex-stratified analysis.
