Tóm tắt

 BACKGROUND: Prior studies have suggested gender differences in COVID-related outcomes that have the potential to impact cardiovascular risk. We aimed to investigate gender differences on short- and long-term effects of COVID-19 infection. METHODS: Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection were enrolled in an ongoing prospective registry across NY-Presbyterian networks, which encompassed same-day echocardiogram, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), 6-minute walk test, and quality of life assessment 1 year following acute COVID hospitalization. RESULTS: In this prospective cohort of 213 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection, males were more likely to require intensive care unit (ICU) stay (13.6 vs. 3.6%
  CONCLUSION: Whereas males have greater morbidity during acute COVID hospitalization, females are disproportionately impacted by post-COVID impaired functional status despite higher biventricular ejection fraction and smaller infarct size.
