Key result
Female sex in elderly patients with HFpEF was associated with significantly higher afterload-related left ventricular diastolic elastance and arterial elastance compared to men.
Why the study?
Are there sex-related differences in left ventricular diastolic function and arterial elastance during admission in patients with HFpEF?

Are there sex-related differences in left ventricular diastolic function and arterial elastance during admission in patients with HFpEF?
Elderly women with HFpEF exhibit higher afterload-related left ventricular diastolic elastance and arterial elastance accompanied by left atrioventricular volume mismatch compared to men.
Hoshida et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (n=267). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic function indices (Ed, Ea, Ed/Ea) and cardiac structure. Female sex in elderly patients with HFpEF was associated with significantly higher afterload-related left ventricular diastolic elastance and arterial elastance compared to men.
