Sex differences in pressure and flow waveform physiology across the life course

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has long been deemed a disease of old men. However, in 2019 CVD accounted for 35% of all deaths in women and, therefore, remains the leading cause of death in both men and women. There is increasing evidence to show that risk factors, pathophysiology and health outcomes related to CVD differ in women compared with men, yet CVD in women remains understudied, underdiagnosed and undertreated. Differences exist between the sexes in relation to the structure of the heart and vasculature… Show more

“…A higher heart rate, lower cardiovascular contractility, and earlier reflected arterial pulse waves with augmentation of central systolic rather than diastolic blood pressure are thought to result in lower brachial and central diastolic blood pressures and more microvascular damage than in men. 9,17,29–31 Sex differences in autonomic neuronal hemodynamic regulation are understudied. 9,17,29,31…”

“…9,17,[29][30][31] Sex differences in autonomic neuronal hemodynamic regulation are understudied. 9,17,29,31 Estrogens are cardioprotective, reduce cardiomyocyte oxidative, ischemic, and hypertensive stress and promote vasodilation in the peripheral vasculature and coronary arteries while inhibiting the development of atherosclerosis. 32,33 However, in older women and pharmacological doses, estrogen might have adverse effects on the vessel wall.…”

“…Выделяют следующие специфичные для женщин патофизиологические характеристики АГ [95] В постменопаузе у женщин наблюдается более быстрое (по сравнению с мужчинами такого же возраста) увеличение артериальной жесткости. У женщин пожилого возраста отмечается более высокая ригидность аорты, чем у мужчин, что, по-видимому, способствует развитию изолированной систолической АГ, неконтролируемой АГ, сердечной недостаточности с сохраненной фракцией выброса левого желудочка, аортальному стенозу, что чаще встречается у женщин [96,97].…”
