Sex Differences in Newly Diagnosed Severe Aortic Stenosis in British Columbia (B.C.)
Our data suggest significant sex-based discrepancies in the management of AS. Females with severe AS are diagnosed later in life and are less likely to be evaluated for valve intervention. They are less likely to receive intervention due to older age, frailty, and multimorbid conditions. Further research is warranted for a more effective identification and follow up of aortic stenosis, as well as timely referral for AVR, where appropriate, especially for females.
