RESUMO
The incidence of certain clinical arrhythmias varies between and women. Clinical and experimental observations suggest the existence of true differences in electrophysiologic properties between the sexes. We review these differences, possible mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic considerations in the treatment of various arrhythmias in women. (Tex Heart Inst J 2001;28:265–75)
