This editorial highlights the lack of sex-specific recommendations and assessment tools for atrial fibrillation and obstructive sleep apnoea, advocating for integrated care models and female-sensitive risk stratification scores.
Gender differences in diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular conditions has been a topic of discussion for a long time and evidence has demonstrated significant variance in care and treatment approaches as well as associated outcomes between men and women. Naturally, substantial biologic gender differences and sociocultural impact contribute to these differences, however the call for more personalised models of care, focussing on the gender-specific differences in symptom pattern, and the required optimal timing of diagnosis and treatment, is far from being optimal in clinical practice and differences in diagnosis and management in cardiovascular conditions persists...
