Elderly individuals without heart failure exhibit sex-specific patterns of cardiac remodeling, with women showing a more pronounced increase in left ventricular torsion.
In an asymptomatic, senescent community-dwelling population, we observed a distinct, sex-specific pattern of cardiac remodeling. Although we observed worse diastolic and longitudinal function with advanced age or elevated load in both sexes, a significant increase of torsion was more pronounced in women.
