Age as a Surrogate for Hormonal Status and Outcomes of Women on Left Ventricular Assist Device Support—An <scp>EUROMACS</scp> Analysis
Outcomes differed between age groups, but not consistently between sexes within the same age group, suggesting age rather than sex or menopausal status driving outcome differences. These descriptive findings support equitable consideration of LVAD therapy irrespective of sex.
