摘要: Background Important sex differences in the epidemiology of sudden death and results electrophysiological testing survivors cardiac arrest have been identified. These are currently poorly understood. Methods Results Three hundred fifty-five consecutive out-of-hospital (84 women 271 men) referred for electrophysiologically guided therapy were analyzed retrospectively underlying pathology predictors outcome. Women significantly less likely to coronary artery disease than men (45% versus 80%) more other forms heart or structurally normal hearts (P<.0001). The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was higher (0.46±0.18 0.41±0.18, P<.05), no inducible arrhythmia at baseline (46% 27%, P=.002), although when patients stratified by status, these d...
