Why the study?
There is a marked paucity of research regarding ventricular arrhythmias during acute myocardial ischaemia in female and elderly individuals.
There is a need for greater awareness of sex and age differences in ventricular arrhythmias during acute myocardial ischemia to develop personalized prevention methods.
Sex and age differences in ischemia arrhythmias merit clinical attention; leaves open targeted studies in females and elderly.
signalling or changes in electrophysiological parameters, occur independently of the development of cardiovascular diseases and are more severe in male individuals. A review of the literature also indicates a marked paucity of research in this area in female and elderly individuals. Greater awareness of sex differences in the aging process could help in the development of personalized prevention methods targeting potential pro-arrhythmic factors in patients of both sexes to reduce mortality during the acute phase of myocardial infarction. This is especially important in an era of aging populations in which women will predominate due to their longer lifespan.
