Sex differences in noninvasive estimates of left ventricular pressure energetics but not myocardial oxygen demand in young adults
Background: Sex differences in arterial stiffness and wave reflections may lead to disproportionate increases in afterload and myocardial work in women. We examined sex differences in arterial stiffness, pressure from wave reflections, measures of left ventricular (LV) energetics and myocardial work...
