Consistent epidemiological data demonstrate that patients with heart failure with preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF) are more likely to be women than men. Exploring mechanisms …

Arterial stiffness progressively increases with aging and is an independent predictor of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Evidence supports that there are sex differences in the …

Background: Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), defined as systolic blood pressure
(SBP)≥ 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)< 90 mm Hg, in younger and middle …

Objectives: This study sought to assess sex differences in ventricular-arterial interactions.
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is more prevalent in women than …

Aims Women are more likely to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF) than men. We studied the relationship between sex and cardiovascular structure …

Heart failure affects over 2.6 million women and 3.4 million men in the United States with
known sex differences in epidemiology, management, response to treatment, and outcomes …

The prevalence of HFpEF is increasing and women outnumber men by a 2: 1 ratio. Recent
data have identified striking parallels between structure–function alterations observed in …

Objectives: This study sought to identify sex differences in central and peripheral factors that
contribute to the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by …

Increased arterial stiffness and wave reflection have been reported in heart failure with
normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) and in asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) diastolic …

Life expectancy is longer in women compared to men, and cardiovascular events occur at a
lower rate and at a later age in females than males. The impact of gender on the prevalence …
