Sudden Death in Men Versus Women with Heart Failure.
Purpose of review: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents the most feared complication of heart failure (HF). This review intends to provide insight on our current knowledge of sex differences in SCD mechanisms, prevention, and management in HF patients.
Recent findings: Women with HF present a better prognosis than men and have a lower incidence of SCD, irrespective of the presence of ischemic heart disease and age. The influence of sex hormones, sex differences in intracellular calcium handling, and a differential myocardial remodeling may explain such a gap between men and women. Both HF drugs and ventricular arrhythmias ablation seems also useful for the management of women at risk of SCD, but special care must be taken with the use of antiarrhythmic QT-prolonging drugs. However, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) use has not been shown to be equally effective in women than men. Sex-specific recommendations regarding SCD in HF are still lacking due to the scarcity of information and the under-representation of women in clinical trials. Further investigation is required to provide specific risk stratification models in women. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, genetics development, and personalized medicine will probably play an increasing role in this evaluation.
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.
