Abstract

Abstract The presentation and identification of cardiovascular disease in women pose unique diagnostic challenges compared to men, and underrecognized conditions in this patient population may lead to clinical mismanagement. This article reviews the sex differences in cardiovascular disease, explores the diagnostic and prognostic role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the spectrum of cardiovascular disorders in women, and proposes the added value of CMR compared to other imaging modalities. In addition, this article specifically reviews the role of CMR in cardiovascular diseases occurring more frequently or exclusively in female patients, including Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, connective tissue disorders, primary pulmonary arterial hypertension and peripartum cardiomyopathy. Gaps in knowledge and opportunities for further investigation of sex-specific cardiovascular differences by CMR are also highlighted.

Abstract

Methods Patients (n=19) with a clinical diagnosis or imaging findings of pulmonary hypertension who underwent cardiac MR between 1/1/2009 and 9/30/2014 were identified. Controls (n=10) were referred for cardiac MR evaluation to rule out ARVD due to family history or palpitations, but with a normal cardiac MR examination. Both patients and controls underwent cardiac MR with delayed gadolinium enhancement. Post-contrast locklocker inversion recovery sequences were obtained approximately 15 minutes following administration of gadolinium. T1 values were measured in the ventricular septum by placing a region of interest (ROI) that was confined to the myocardium using a semiautomated method. Manual correction was used to adjust ROIs that included the blood-pool. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis equality-of-populations rank test to compare the patient and control groups due to data skewness.
