Gender Differences in Cardiac Events
Sudden cardiac arrest during exercise is significantly less common in female athletes compared to male athletes, with a reported ratio of almost 10 to 1. Despite this seemingly positive statistic, female athletes, especially at elite and recreational levels, remain chronically understudied in relation to cardiovascular health. This underrepresentation means that while we understand the incidence of catastrophic events, we lack comprehensive knowledge on how exercise impacts subtle signs of morbidity in female athletes. More research is essential to identify specific conditions affecting female athletes and to tailor preventive strategies effectively.
