Abstract
Heart failure is a life-threatening condition that affects women and men differently. Due to increases in mean patient age, heart failure prevalence and mortality rates are expected to increase rapidly. Heart failure is characterised as a syndrome leading to a high burden of disease for the individual patient and increased healthcare costs for society related to rehospitalisation. This review highlights sex differences across the entire spectrum of heart failure.
