Gender-related differences in left ventricular chamber function.
OBJECTIVES While women have lower rates of atherosclerotic disease than men, they are more likely to suffer cardiac failure following infarction or cardiac surgery, despite typically having a greater left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. We hypothesised that gender differences in systolic chamber function and ventriculo-vascular coupling may contribute to these clinical findings. METHODS L...
متن کاملGender differences in left ventricular hypertrophy regression.
Gender Differences in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Regression To the Editor: We read with interest the article of Os et al1 about the effects of losartan in women with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy from the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension (LIFE) Study. The main finding in this posthoc analysis was that, compared with atenolol-based treatment, losarta...
متن کاملGender specific differences in left ventricular remodelling in obesity may explain differences in obesity related mortality
Background Obesity related cardiovascular mortality, although elevated when compared to normal weight, is lower in females (♀) than males (♂) at every body mass index (BMI) level. Given the fact that males have less fat tissue than females at each BMI level, the reasons behind this trend are unlikely to be attributable to the effects of excess adiposity alone. As different patterns of left vent...
متن کاملGender-related differences in left ventricular filling dynamics in older subjects after endurance exercise training.
The present study was designed to determine if gender affects the adaptive response to endurance exercise training of left ventricular filling dynamics in older individuals. Recently, it was shown that gender influences the cardiovascular responses to endurance exercise training in older subjects. Older men improve left ventricular systolic performance and increase maximal cardiac output in res...
متن کاملThyroid function and aging: gender-related differences.
The effects of aging on human or animal thyroid function are still not well defined. We evaluated some aspects of thyroid function during aging using an animal model (young and old Dutch-Miranda rats). In old rats of both genders, serum thyroxine (T4) decreased but serum thyrotrophin (TSH) remained unaltered, suggesting a disturbance in the pituitary-thyroid feedback mechanism during aging. Ser...
