Gender-related differences in atrial fibrillation.
ender-related differences in coronary artery disease have een long recognized (1,2). There are distinct differences in linical presentation, outcome, and intensity of investigation nd therapy. Less emphasis had previously been directed owards gender differences in arrhythmias, although it has ong been known that women have a higher mean heart rate nd a longer QT interval (3). Differences in out...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation: are there gender differences?
The incidence of atrial fibrillation is greater in men than in women, but this gap closes with advancing age. More women with atrial fibrillation have underlying valvular disease, and more men with this condition have underlying coronary artery disease. Atrial fibrillation increases mortality and the incidence of stroke in both sexes. However, women in particular (especially those over 75 years...
متن کاملGender differences in fibrosis remodeling in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation
The success rate of catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to be lower in females than in males. However, while the exact mechanism for this phenomenon remains to be elucidated, tissue fibrosis may play an important role in this regard. It has been shown that fibrosis promotes AF and its recurrence, thereby substantially reducing the efficacy of catheter ablation in AF patients....
متن کاملGender differences in clinical presentation and 1-year outcomes in atrial fibrillation
OBJECTIVES Our objective was to examine gender differences in clinical presentation, management and prognosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a contemporary cohort. METHODS In 6412 patients, 39.7% women, of the PREvention oF thromboembolic events - European Registry in Atrial Fibrillation, we examined gender differences in symptoms, risk factors, therapies and 1-year incidence of adverse outco...
متن کاملAtrial amyloidosis and atrial fibrillation: a gender-dependent "arrhythmogenic substrate"?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to cause significant changes in atrial tissue architecture and electrophysiology.1;2 It has become clear over recent years that pre-existing alterations, such as autonomic dysbalance, degenerative tissue changes and fibrosis, can provide an electrophysiological and morphological substrate, which increases the likelihood of AF. In particular, alterations of the ...
