[Sex and Gender Differences in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation for Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmias].
Introduction: This study assessed sex and gender differences in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter (AFL), and other supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) undergoing catheter ablation. Four hundred patients (36.3 % female) with a median age of 62 were included. Significant gender differences were found in age at diagnosis and ablation of AF, with women with AF being diagnosed later. In the AF and AFL groups, fewer women were referred for EPS. Women experienced more dizziness in AF, more syncope in AFL, and more dyspnea in SVT. Ablation success was high and equal for both sexes. Awareness of these sex differences is crucial for establishing equal healthcare management.
