Sex and Cardiac Electrophysiology: Differences in Cardiac Electrical Disorders Between Men and Women

Sex and Cardiac Electrophysiology: Differences in Cardiac Electrical  Disorders Between Men and Women is a comprehensive investigation into  all aspects of sex differences in cardiac electrophysiology. As there  are substantial differences between female and male patients in  physiology, pathology triggering factors, disease progression, clinical  approaches and treatment outcome, this book provides a comprehensive  examination. In cardiology, the differences between women and men are  more recognized, hence this title summarizes these important  differences, providing the essential information needed for clinical  specialists and researchers involved in the design and implementation of  clinical studies. Explores topics ranging from the physiologic  differences between women and men to the differences in clinical  handling of arrhythmic disorders between female and male patients  Provides sex differences in cardiac electrophysiology in separate  chapters Covers the sex differences of cardiac electrical disorders,  providing insights beyond cardiac metabolic syndrome, hypertension,  atherogenesis and heart failure
