Aims There are significant sex-specific differences in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),
with a higher LVEF being observed in women. We sought to assess the clinical relevance of …

Background Left ventricular (LV) volumetric and functional parameters measured with
cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT) augment risk prediction and discrimination for …

Background Although women are known to have a relatively higher left ventricular ejection
fraction (LVEF) compared with men, a sex-neutral LVEF threshold continues to be used for …

Cancer and cardiovascular disease are the most significant causes of morbidity and
mortality worldwide. Although the cancer survival rate has increased due to improved …

Cardiac nuclear imaging studies such as gated single photon emission computed
tomography can offer assessment of myocardial perfusion and ventricular function. These …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an expanding global epidemic. Estimates of a global prevalence of
415 million people and total health expenditure of 673 billion US dollars have been …

Despite recent declines in the rates of cardiovascular deaths in women, cardiovascular
disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in women. 1 In the United States, more than …
