Acute HF was more common in women when compared to men with STEMI (RR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.20-1.29) but not in those with NSTE-ACS (RR: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.97-1.08) (Pinteraction <0.001). The presence of acute HF increased the risk of mortality for both sexes (odds ratio: 6.60; 95...

There were no significant main effects of gender identity on the psychosocial risk profiles. When examining whether the effect of gender identity was different for men vs. women, there were two significant interactions. While in women, a higher gender identity score (i.e., the more feminine) ...
Table 2 shows the distribution of socio-demographic, lifestyle and health characteristics in men and women by DLVD category: absence of diastolic left ventricular dysfunction, presence of DLVD without symptoms, and presence of DLVD with symptoms. The differences between men and women confirm the diff...
