Background Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) improves symptoms in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) but gender-disparities have only rarely been investigated. Purpose To assess gender-disparities regarding outcome and procedure-related aspects in HOCM patients undergoing ASA. Methods and results 1,367 consecutive ASAs between 2002 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed for sex-differences. Females (47.2%) had more advanced age at the timing of ASA (66.0 years [IQR 55.0–74.0] vs. 54.0 years [IQR 45.0–62.0]; p Conclusion Female HOCM patients had more advanced age, more severe symptoms and a higher IVSD when indexed to BSA at the timing of ASA. However, early hemodynamic response was better in females, but procedure-related complete heart block was more often found in women. Gender-disparities in clinical characteristics and procedural outcome of ASA should be taken into consideration. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None. |
