Female patients with chronic heart failure are older, more frequently have preserved ejection fraction and non-ischemic etiology, and are less likely to receive standard evidence-based therapies compared to men.
Shiba et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Chronic heart failure (n=1,166). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Composite event of admission because of congestive heart failure and all-cause mortality. Female patients with chronic heart failure were significantly older, more likely to have preserved systolic function, and experienced higher crude rates of mortality and heart failure admission compared to men.
