Title: Gender differences in course of interventional and surgical treatment of cardiovascular diseases
Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death worldwide among men and women. High cardiovascular morbidity in women is coupled with inequality in its diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study is to illustrate the gender differences in outcomes of surgical and interventional’ cardiac procedures. The first publication deals with patients undergoing revascularisation of chronic occlusion of lower limb arteries using the retrograde technique. No differences were observed in long-term mortality between women and men. Moreover, more frequent reinterventions were found in men during follow-up. The second publication is a study of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary angioplasty by means of the rotational atherectomy technique. Incidence of the composite endpoint was not different in women and men at long-term follow-up; however, perioperative complications and long-term mortality were higher in the female gender, likely due to the higher perioperative risk in women. The third paper is a study of more than 4,000 patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement. In this study, women were not characterized by increased in- hospital and long-term follow-up mortality. Moreover, after accounting for age and concomitant diseases, survival was better in women than in men. Despite the separate procedural techniques, the above studies yield common conclusions: ; women undergoing cardiac procedures are older and have more comorbidities, which leads to more periprocedural complications, however, the results of these procedures benefit men and women equally.
