Sex differences in AV conduction may underlie arrhythmia sex distributions; hypothesis-generating from cross-sectional data and requires prospective confirmation.
Do electrophysiological properties of the normal AV conduction system differ between men and women?
Gender-related differences in AV conduction properties, such as longer AH, HV, and PR intervals in men, may explain the differences in sex distribution observed in patients with AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia and ventricular pre-excitation.
