Sex differences in left ventricular afterload and diastolic function are independent from the aortic size.

Sex differences in left ventricular afterload and diastolic function are independent from the aortic size.

<h4>Background</h4>Women have a greater risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) than men do, yet the basis for this disparity remains unclear. Greater arterial stiffness and afterload causes left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, a central mechanism of HFPEF....
