| Abstrakt: | This review explores gender disparities in cardiac electrophysiology, highlighting differences in the electrical activity of the heart between men and women. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these variances for correct diagnosis and effective treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Women show distinct cardiac characteristics influenced by sex hormones, affecting their susceptibility to various arrhythmias. The manuscript covers the classification, mechanisms, and management of arrhythmias in women, considering factors such as pregnancy and menopause. By addressing these gender-specific nuances, it aims to improve healthcare practices and outcomes for female patients with cardiac rhythm disorders. (Copyright: © 2024 Permanyer.) |
