Brief Summary:
Heart failure (HF) is a major healthcare problem. In patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF), aldosterone antagonists reduce mortality and hospitalization rate. Gender-related differences have been described in the regulation of renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), which is at the core of the pathophysiology of HF. Regarding gender-related differences in the use of MRAs, less is known about the effects of androgens on RAAS.
In this single-center prospective cohort, a total of 100 adult (≥ 18 years) ambulatory patients of both sexes with the diagnosis of HF with HFrEF (LVEF≤ 40%) and NYHA class II-IV under optimized medical therapy started an aldosterone antagonist are enrolled and followed-up for 6 months. Patients are categorized according to their apparent sexual gender into two groups: the male group and the female group.
