1 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Women with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have greater symptoms and a lower quality of life compared with men; however, the role of noncardiac mechanisms remains poorly resolved. We hypothesized that differences in skeletal muscle pathology between men and women with HFrEF may explain clinical heterogeneity. METHODS: Muscle biopsies from both men (n=22) and women (n=16) with...
