According to recent studies, mortality rates were noticeably higher in women, than in men. This has been linked to variations in age, comorbidities, symptom presentation, and pathophysiology of the underlying coronary artery disease. There is little information on how these typical gender disparities affect post- MI survival. Studies on individuals with coronary artery disease have primarily focused on men, with women typically being left out of most series. Despite the relatively high prevalence of ischemic heart disease in women, there is a lack of information regarding the clinical course of the condition, its management, and clinical outcomes in this particular population due to the underrepresentation of women in the medical literature in this field. The gender disparities in post-MI patients who present with HF will be briefly discussed in this article.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000A total of 50 patients that presented with HF and had a previous history of MI were included in this study after taking consent. After taking history and detailed physical examination, investigations that were sent were reviewed and the subjects followed up in the hospital stay to look for outcomes. The data are compiled and subjected to statistical analysis.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000It is observed that among the 50 subjects, 32% of them had recurrent HF (13 of the 30 females and three of the 20 males). p = 0.04 is statistically significant. Among the study subjects, the hospital outcomes observed showed that, out of 50 subjects, 47 subjects recovered and the other three died in hospital stay. All the three deaths are women. p = 0.15 is not statistically significant.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000This study concludes that women are more likely than males to require hospitalization for recurrent HF following a MI. This study also demonstrates that, despite the higher risk of recurrent HF, women do not have a higher mortality risk than males.\u0000","PeriodicalId":92905,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of cardiovascular disease in women WINCARS","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84344226","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}

Often, the cause is not found and the inability to delineate the underlying process presents a major public health challenge. Although CAD represents the most common cause of SCD, arrhythmias are an important cause of the same as these patients present with fewer premonitory symptoms and often go undetected. Inherited arrhythmia syndromes represent a challenge due to limited availability of widespread genetic testing and known pathogenic genetic mutations. One such gene is ABCC9 gene, which encodes the SUR2 subunit of the ATP sensitive potassium channel or KATP channel. Mutations in KATP channel are associated with wide range of inherited diseases. Gain-of-function mutations are associated with Cantu syndrome characterized by hypertrichosis and acromegaloid facial features. Loss-of-function mutations are associated with Brugada syndrome and dilated cardiomyopathy. Here, we report a patient with a likely pathogenic mutation in the ABCC9 gene, identified by whole exome sequencing. The male proband came with multiple episodes of syncopal events and palpitations found to have advanced atrioventricular block. This case highlights the consequences of KATP channel dysfunction in the cardiovascular system.","PeriodicalId":92905,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of cardiovascular disease in women WINCARS","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75100585","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}
