Sex differences in aortic valve calcification measured by multidetector computed tomography in aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is the intrinsic mechanism of valvular obstruction leading to aortic stenosis (AS) and is measurable by multidetector computed tomography. The link between sex and AS is controversial and that with AVC is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively performed multidetector computed tomography in 665 patients with AS (aortic valve area, 1.05±0.35 cm...
متن کاملSex differences in mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine sex differences in outcome after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with real-world data from 2 large centers in Canada. BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is an effective alternative to surgical valve replacement in symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis, but the impact of sex on outcomes remains unclear. The...
متن کاملSex Differences in the Utilization and Outcomes of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement for Severe Aortic Stenosis
BACKGROUND Studies assessing the differential impact of sex on outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) yielded conflicting results. We sought to investigate sex-related differences in AVR utilization, patient risk profile, and in-hospital outcomes using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. METHODS AND RESULTS In total, 166 809 patients (63% male and 37% female) who underwent AVR between 2003 a...
متن کاملSex differences in carotid plaque and stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Women are relatively protected from cardiovascular events; they are 3 times as likely as men to survive to age 90 years. Although clinical trials show an excess of thrombotic events with estrogen/progestin hormone replacement therapy, much experimental and epidemiological evidence suggests that estrogen may have beneficial effects on endothelial function and atheroscleros...
متن کاملSex differences in left ventricular geometry in aortic stenosis: impact on outcome.
OBJECTIVE This study of surgical aortic stenosis characterized sex differences in left ventricular (LV) geometry and outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined 92 women and 82 men who underwent echocardiography before valve replacement for aortic stenosis. RESULTS Women had a smaller cavity size (LV end-diastolic diameter 48.2 +/- 7 mm in women vs 53.6 +/- 7.6 mm in men; p = 0.0001) and hig...
