Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •HFpEF is highly prevalent in women, with a gender distribution ratio of 2:1.•The aging female demographic confers an increased burden of disease in women.•Women with HFpEF have markedly increased incidence of diastolic dysfunction.•Sex-specific molecular understanding of diastolic dysfunction in HFpEF is required.•Discerning the mechanisms of HFpEF sex disparity will help identify new treatments.
