Echocardiography was performed at baseline. The combined endpoint was hospitalization due to heart failure and all-cause death. There were more female than male patients (42% vs. 58%) without differences regarding age (81 \u00b1 7 years in males vs. 82 \u00b1 8 years in females, P = 0.24). Heart failure symptoms were distributed equally in both groups. Almost half of the patients evidenced a high EuroSCORE II (41%\/42%). Atrial fibrillation was frequent, affecting 65% male and 64% female patients (P = 0.89). There were no differences regarding medical treatment. In both genders, two-thirds of the patients displayed MR grade II\u00b0 (71% (72), and 69% (97)), and one-third showed MR grade III\u00b0 (29% (30) vs. 31% (44), respectively, P = 0.76). Although males had larger left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, lower ejection fraction (39% (16) vs. 48% (14), P &amp;lt; 0.001), and more dilated left atria. After 1 year, genders did not differ regarding the combined primary endpoint of hospitalization due to heart failure and all-cause mortality (32% (33) for males vs. 29% (41) for females, P = 0.61). One-year mortality was low and equal in both cohorts (11% in males and 9% in females, P = 0.69). In univariate Cox regression proportion hazard model, being female was not associated with the primary endpoint (hazard ratio 0.87 (95% confidence interval 0.55 to 1.37), P = 0.54). Multivariable adjustment for EuroSCORE II and frailty did not result in a significant change regarding the impact of the female gender.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite better left ventricular systolic function, mortality in medically treated older female patients suffering from functional mitral regurgitation is not lower than in males.
