Gender Disparity of Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Placement for Primary Prevention: National Inpatient Sample Analysis
In this study, women accounted for approximately 40% of patients admitted with the diagnosis of sHF; however, they accounted for less than 30% of patients who underwent the insertion of an AICD. Further research is needed to better understand this gender disparity and identify reasons for the lower rates of AICD placement in women.
