Key result
Heart failure treatment differences between men and women were small, and 1-year mortality was similar between sexes (10.5% in women vs. 10.4% in men).
Why the study?
Do clinical characteristics, treatment, and 1-year mortality differ between men and women with heart failure?

Do clinical characteristics, treatment, and 1-year mortality differ between men and women with heart failure?
Absolute Event Rate: 10.5% vs 10.4%
Despite differences in age and comorbidities, men and women treated at a multidisciplinary heart failure unit receive similar guideline-directed medical therapy and have comparable 1-year mortality.
Lupón et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=350). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Mortality at 1 year. Heart failure treatment differences between men and women were small, and 1-year mortality was similar between sexes (10.5% in women vs. 10.4% in men).
