Sex Differences in the Relationship Between Psychosocial Stress and Myocardial Tissue Characteristics: A CMR Imaging Study
Psychosocial stress was associated with early subclinical myocardial changes in female participants but not in male participants, suggesting sex-specific pathways linking stress to early myocardial remodeling. These findings support the integration of psychosocial factors into cardiovascular risk assessment for female individuals.
