PO-05-095 GENDER DIFFERENCES AND SAFETY OUTCOMES AFTER CATHETER ABLATION OF VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

Female patients are largely underrepresented in clinical studies pertaining to ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Conflicting data exists on outcomes after catheter ablation of different arrhythmias however sparse the role gender safety and complication VT. To evaluate differences tachycardia. Data used study was obtained from National inpatient sample database for years 2016-2019. We identified patient >18 old who were diagnosed with as a primary diagnosis underwent during index hospitalization. compared demographics hospital population based gender. The outcome all cause mortality secondary transferred rehab, length his stay in-hospital complications. Univariate analysis compare between genders. A total 24,280 included our analysis, 19% female 81% male. Male had significantly higher comorbidities including incidence chronic kidney disease, obstructive pulmonary congestive heart failure, coronary artery bypass graft, diabetes, sleep apnea, peripheral vascular disease smoking history. pericardial effusion (5.4% versus 3.0%, p-value 0.002) tamponade (2.6% 1.3%, 0.02) noted patients. No other complications both groups. Discharge rehab center male (8.2% 4.6%, P value 0.0012) also at 6.83 days 5.59 (p-value 0.01). difference genders rate 2.5% females 2.9% males 0.53). Catheter procedure VT appears be safe irrespective In this large nationwide study, found have rates However, no observed.Tabled 1FemaleMaleP-ValueTotal number patients465519625ComplicationsBleeding0.310.20.60Myocardial infarction3.84.40.42Pericardial effusion5.43.00.002Pericardiocentesis0.20.10.51Pericarditis0.50.330.43Respiratory failure0.90.70.55Tamponade2.61.30.02OutcomesDischarge Rehab4.68.20.0012Hospital Length Stay5.596.830.01Mortality2.52.90.53 Open table new tab
