Abstract

Purpose of review: The literature on the importance of sex in heart failure diagnosis is scarce. This review aims to summarize current knowledge on sex differences regarding the diagnosis of heart failure.

Recent findings: Comorbidities are frequent in patients with heart failure, and their prevalence differs between sexes; some differences in symptomatology and diagnostic imaging techniques were also found. Biomarkers also usually show differences between sexes but are not significant enough to establish sex-specific ranges. This article outlines current information related to sex differences in HF diagnosis. Research in this field remains to be done. Maintaining a high diagnostic suspicion, actively searching for the disease, and considering the sex is relevant for early diagnosis and better prognosis. In addition, more studies with equal representation are needed.

心力衰竭诊断的性别差异

回顾目的:关于性别在心力衰竭诊断中的重要性的文献很少。这篇综述旨在总结目前关于心力衰竭诊断的性别差异的知识。近期研究发现:心力衰竭患者常见合并症，其患病率因性别而异;在症状学和诊断成像技术上也发现了一些差异。生物标志物通常也显示出性别之间的差异，但不足以建立性别特异性范围。这篇文章概述了目前有关心衰诊断中的性别差异的信息。这方面的研究还有待进行。保持高度的诊断怀疑，积极寻找疾病，并考虑性别与早期诊断和更好的预后有关。此外，还需要更多具有平等代表性的研究。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart failure. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as investigative, pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapies, pathophysiology, and prevention. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
