Sex-specific trajectories of multiple cardiac diseases, such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), have been identified.

All patients underwent comprehensive cardiac MRI (CMR). Group comparisons were made using multivariate analysis of covariance with adjustments for confounders. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to assess correlations between CMR parameters and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LV-DD) and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Functional and strain parameters progressively declined with CKD stage in both sexes. Measures of left ventricular (LV) remodeling increased as CKD worsened in both sexes, with a loss of measurable differences in Groups 2 and 3 between sexes. Only in women CKD stage was associated with the presence of LV-DD while eGFR was associated with MACE in men.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sex differences in cardiac function and geometry disappear in late stages of CKD.
