Sex ‐based differences in cardiac resynchronization therapy upgrade and outcome for patients with pacemaker and new‐onset heart failure
ConclusionWomen with pacemaker due to AV block are older but have less comorbidities than men. They are less likely to develop new-onset heart failure, but also less likely to receive a CRT upgrade if they do develop heart failure. Increased awareness of the positive effects of CRT upgrade and potential sex- and age-based discrimination is warranted.
