Sex differences in gene expression in response to ischemia in the human left ventricular myocardium
10 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Sex differences exist in the prevalence, presentation and outcomes of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Females have higher risk of heart failure post-myocardial infarction relative to males and are two to three times more likely to die after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. We examined sex differences in human myocardial gene expression in response to ischemia. Left ventricular biopsies from 68 male/46...
