Sex differences in pre- and post-surgical left ventricular remodelling and outcomes in primary mitral regurgitation

In primary MR there were no sex differences in the degree of pre-surgical LV dilatation or post-surgical LV reverse remodelling. There were no sex differences in adverse clinical events. These findings highlight that males and females benefit similarly from mitral valve surgery and females should be referred for mitral valve surgery when appropriate.(Clinical Trials: NCT04038879, NCT03012178, and NCT04051411).
