Sex differences in arterial stiffness and ventricular-arterial interactions

This study sought to assess sex differences in ventricular-arterial interactions. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is more prevalent in women than in men, but the basis for this difference remains unclear. Echocardiography and arterial tonometry were performed to quantify arterial and...
