A recent study conducted at the Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, examined the outcomes of triple heart valve surgery in men and women. The study included 250 patients, with 101 males and 149 females. The researchers found that female patients had higher body mass index and ejection fraction, while males had a higher prevalence of diabetes. Mitral valve stenosis and tricuspid valve regurgitation were more severe in females. However, there were no significant differences in hospital mortality, readmission, or reintervention between genders. The study concluded that triple valve surgery can be safely performed in both genders, with better long-term survival in females. [Extracted from the article] |
