Recent investigations regarding sacubitril\/valsartan have suggested that there is a gender difference in the efficacy of the medication in HFpEF cohort. However, information of gender difference in clinical profiles, examination, and prognosis have not been well investigated. The present study aimed to evaluate the differences in baseline characteristics and outcomes between women and men in a Japanese HFpEF cohort. We analyzed the data from our prospective, observational, and multicenter cohort study. Overall, 1036 consecutive patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure were enrolled. We defined patients with an ejection fraction (EF) of\u2009\u2265\u200950% as HFpEF. Patients with severe valvular disease were excluded; the remaining 379 patients (women: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009201, men: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009178) were assessed. Women were older than men [median: 85 (79\u201389) years vs. 83 (75\u201387) years, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.013]. Diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, and coronary artery disease were more prevalent in men than in women (34.8% vs. 23.9%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.019, 23.6% vs. 11.4%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002, and 23.0% vs. 11.9%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005, respectively). EF was not significantly different between women and men. The cumulative incidence of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF) was significantly lower in women than in men (log-rank <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.040). Women with HFpEF were older and less often exhibited an ischemic etiology; further, they were associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular death or hospitalization for CHF compared with men in the Japanese population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00380-022-02067-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]],"date-time":"2022-04-24T11:02:27Z","timestamp":1650798147000},"page":"1710-1718","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Gender difference in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: clinical profiles, examinations, and prognosis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Sakai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5219-6856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hirohiko","family":"Motoki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sho","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aya","family":"Fuchida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Takeuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyuhachi","family":"Otagiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masafumi","family":"Kanai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuhiro","family":"Kimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masatoshi","family":"Minamisawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koji","family":"Yoshie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatsuya","family":"Saigusa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soichiro","family":"Ebisawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayako","family":"Okada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Kitabayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koichiro","family":"Kuwahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"2067_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"251","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa052256","volume":"355","author":"TE Owan","year":"2006","unstructured":"Owan TE, Hodge DO, Herges RM, Jacobsen SJ, Roger VL, Redfield MM (2006) Trends in prevalence and outcome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
