  • Abstract

    Recent studies have suggested potential sex differences in treatment response to pharmacological therapies in heart failure (HF). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing treatment effects between men and women with HF and reduced ejection fraction using established guideline-directed medical therapy and other emerging pharmacological treatments.
