Cardiac resynchronization therapy outcomes by sex and QRS duration: insights from AdaptResponse and a Real-world registry.
Women with certain heart failure patterns may benefit from pacemaker therapy that men don't respond to as well.
This PubMed-indexed study examined bACKGROUND: Sex-related differences in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients, particularly at shorter QRS durations, remain incompletely defined. The abstract reports these observational findings are hypothesis-generating and suggest a potential benefit of CRT in this patient population, particularly for women, but have not been confirmed in a randomized trial.
