Impact of sex on the utilization of defibrillation-capable cardiac implantable devices and outcome: results from the German device registry
In this real-life patient cohort only a minority of patients was female. Female patients had a higher risk of major periprocedural complications and in-hospital complications but a lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Less women experienced device-shocks during follow-up.
