title: The influence of gender on heart rhythm disease.
abstract: This paper deals with cardiac arrhythmias, focusing on differences between genders. We sought to examine the potential effect of gonadal hormones on heart rhythm disorders, and sex-related differences in incidence and clinical course of arrhythmias--differences that may require specific approaches to detection and management of heart rhythm disease.
