Key result
Female sex was associated with lower rates of procedural interventions for ventricular tachycardia compared to male sex, with no significant difference in in-hospital mortality (p > 0.05).
Why the study?
Concurrent data on sex disparities in VT management and outcomes have remained unclear.
Does female sex impact management and outcomes in patients admitted with ventricular tachycardia?
Population
146 070 hospitalized adult patients admitted with VT between 2016 and 2018 in the US NIS
Comparison
Women vs men
Design
Database registry study

Women with VT were less likely to undergo ablation or ICD placement and had more arrests; leaves open whether disparities warrant targeted interventions.
Observational (n=146,070)
Yes

Prasitlumkum et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Ventricular tachycardia (n=146,070). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p=>0.05). Female sex was associated with lower rates of procedural interventions for ventricular tachycardia compared to male sex, with no significant difference in in-hospital mortality (p > 0.05).
