Are there gender-related differences in the presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation?
Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in Europe
Female sex
Male sex
Presentation, treatment, and clinical outcomes including stroke, quality of life (QoL), morbidities, and mortality
Women with atrial fibrillation present with more comorbidities and face a higher risk of stroke compared to men, yet receive more conservative treatment with less rhythm control, though long-term mortality remains similar.
Women with AF had more comorbidities, more HF with preserved systolic function, and a lower QoL than men. In the large group with atypical or no symptoms, women were treated appropriately more conservatively with less rhythm control than men. Women had a higher chance for stroke. Long-term QoL changes and other morbidities and mortality were similar.
