Sex-related differences in patients presenting with heart failure –related cardiogenic shock

ConclusionsIn this large HF-CS registry, sex disparities in risk factors and clinical presentation were observed. Despite these differences, the use of treatments was comparable, and both sexes exhibited similarly high mortality rates. Further research is necessary to evaluate if sex-tailored treatment, accounting for the differences in cardiovascular risk factors and clinical presentation, might improve outcomes in HF-CS.Graphical abstractSex-related differences in clinical characteristics, shock severity, and mortality in patients with heart failure –related cardiogenic shock.
