Sex differences in basal hemodynamics and left ventricular function in humans with and without heart failure

Background Women with systolic heart failure (HF) demonstrate better survival than men. Whether sex differences occur in hemodynamics or measures of left ventricular (LV) function is not well understood. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a cohort who underwent evaluation by right heart catheteriza...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Women with systolic heart failure (HF) demonstrate better survival than men. Whether sex differences occur in hemodynamics or measures of left ventricular (LV) function is not well understood. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a cohort who underwent evaluation by right heart catheterization ± micromanometer-tipped catheterization of the LV. Two groups, defined at the time of catheterization, were studied: normal LV (NLV) function or HF (LV ejection fraction
