Currently, it is understood that multiparity may increase the risk of maternal pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus, which can have subsequent long-term effects on both the maternal and offspring. Although there are some differences in data between rodents and humans, multiparity has been shown to disrupt glucose homeostasis, decrease pancreatic beta-cell proliferation, alter cardiac hemodynamics, and change the composition of the gut microbiome.

These changes involve alterations to individual cells, the surrounding matrix, and overall ventricular structure and function. Following myocardial infarction, ventricular remodeling involves partial tissue repair and ultimately determines long-term survival. Biological sex contributes to diverging responses in post-infarction ventricular remodeling and survival, with young female animals having less remodeling post-injury compared with male animals, yet women have reduced long-term survival. Over the last two decades, evidence indicates that sex-dependent differences impact most processes that contribute to post-infarction remodeling, including extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, and cardiomyocyte homeostasis. In addition, there are differences in the transcriptional landscape and cellular composition of male and female hearts. Despite these well-established sex-dependent differences, mechanistic advancements lag. Furthermore, cardiovascular treatments are not yet optimized based on sex. Sex hormones are proffered as the explanation for differences; however, studies that remove the influence of sex hormones still show sex-dependent changes, which suggests hormone-independent contributors. Outside of pathological remodeling in response to infarction, the female heart often undergoes physiological remodeling that does not occur in males: pregnancy. During pregnancy, rapid remodeling and reversion occur, which creates a unique, natural template to study aspects of sex-dependent differences in ventricular remodeling. Therefore, this review summarizes fundamental differences in the ventricular myocardium between sexes and highlights emerging areas that contribute to sex-dependent changes in ventricular remodeling.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52156,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Physiology","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 100895"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145977634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Epicardial fat tissue (EFT), a metabolically active visceral fat depot between the myocardium and visceral pericardium, plays a critical role in cardiac health. Under normal conditions, EFT supports the heart via anti-inflammatory signaling, fatty acid metabolism, and nitric oxide–mediated vasodilation. However, in obesity and cardiometabolic syndrome, EFT becomes proinflammatory, contributing to cardiac remodeling and endothelial dysfunction. Since women experience unique hormonal and metabolic influences, risk factors such as menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome, vitamin D deficiency, and sleep apnea are linked to increased EFT in women, independent of body mass index, and correlate with adverse cardiac remodeling and inflammation. Therapeutic strategies such as exercise, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and hormone replacement therapy show promise in reducing EFT.
