Gender-Related Differences in the Clinical Presentation and Outcome of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Women with HCM were under-represented, older, and more symptomatic than men, and showed higher risk of progression to advanced heart failure or death, often associated with outflow obstruction. These gender-specific differences suggest that social, endocrine, or genetic factors may affect the diagnosis and clinical course of HCM. A heightened suspicion for HCM in women may allow for timely implementation of treatment strategies, including relief of obstruction and prevention of sudden death or stroke.

“…Although male predominance may reflect a similar lack of awareness that is well recorded in other cardiovascular diseases in women, the difference in disease expression among the sexes is likely to be influenced by genetic and endocrine factors. Women with HCM are older at presentation, more symptomatic, and more likely to have resting LV obstruction compared with men 24. While LV mass indexed for body surface area is lower in women, suggesting milder phenotypic expression25 (Figure 1), women are more prone to heart failure–related mortality and HCM‐related complications 26, 27.…”

“…While LV mass indexed for body surface area is lower in women, suggesting milder phenotypic expression25 (Figure 1), women are more prone to heart failure–related mortality and HCM‐related complications 26, 27. Furthermore, women with HCM have comparable rates of SCD compared with men,24, 28, 29 although they may be less exposed to arrhythmic events triggered by strenuous exercise 30, 31. As women are less likely to be diagnosed with HCM at routine medical examination, a higher index of diagnostic suspicion and lower threshold for referral to a specialist are warranted.…”

“…Females with HCM were characterized by a more severe course of the disease Гипертрофическая кардиомиопатия (ГКМП) является наиболее распространенным наследствен-ным заболеванием сердца [1] с аутосомно-доминант-ным типом наследования, что предполагает развитие заболевания как у мужчин, так и у женщин, являю-щихся носителями патогенных генетических вариан-тов. В ряде работ отражена более высокая распро-страненность заболевания у мужчин [2], в других исследованиях -у женщин [3][4][5].…”

“…Известно, что идиопатическая ГКМП характери-зуется различным возрастом манифестации первых клинических проявлений заболевания, многообра-зием клинических и морфологических признаков [2,[6][7][8]. Эта фенотипическая гетерогенность обуслов-лена как генетическими причинами, такими как патогенные генетические дефекты [6][7][8] и поли-морфные варианты генов-модификаторов, так и негенетическими потенциально модифицируе-мыми факторами кардиометаболического риска (ожирение, артериальная гипертензия) [8].…”
