Mortality rate in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease in Brazil: comparison between sexes
In patients with peripheral artery disease, men with intermittent claudication symptoms exhibit a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to women. Future research should focus on identifying sex-specific risk factors associated with mortality in this population. Such insights are critical for developing targeted interventions aimed at reducing mortality, particularly among men with intermittent claudication in low- and middle-income countries.
