Abstract excerpt
Rationale: Although sex differences in right heart phenotypes have been observed, the molecular drivers remain unknown. Objectives: To provide biological insights into sex differences in the structure and function of the right ventricle (RV) using common genetic variation. Methods: RV phenotypes were obtained from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in 18,156 women and 16,171 men from the UK Biobank. Observational...
