Female Gender Is Associated with an Increased Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Recovery in Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction.

ABSTRACT: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association whether the female gender was associated with an increased chance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to 18 January 2022. Included studies were published studies evaluating or reporting characteristics of patients with HF with recovered LVEF. Data from each study were combined using a random-effects model, the generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird, to calculate odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Eighteen studies were included in the analysis with a total of 12,270 patients (28.2% female). Female gender was associated with an increased ch
