Cardiovascular disease has many variable signs and symptoms, but different people may have different experience. A recent study shows that cardiovascular disease does not affect men and women in the same way, the risk factors and protective factors for heart diseases are likewise unequal.
A study called “Voluntary Exercise Induces Sex-Specific Physiological Cardiac Remodeling” examining chronic exercise in male and female mice, held by a Center for Cardiovascular Research in Berlin, Germany.
It finds that moderate long-term exercise provokes a sex-dependent cardiac adaptation that is different for females versus males. The findings may eventually help improve treatment strategies for women and men with heart disease.
The researchers found that the female mice showed a much higher level of exercise performance, and had a greater increase in LV mass (15 percent vs. five percent of left ventricular hypertrophy) compared to their sex-matched sedentary controls.
On the other side, the males experienced no change in ?/?–MHC ratio and protein that promotes cell function.
The leader of the researcher concluded, exercise appears to help females more than males. This is a kind of a closer step to explaining the sex bias in physical activity that protects the heart.
