- Abstract
Objective: Compare the structure and function of the heart between male and female. Methods: Cross-sectional and descriptive study, in a convenience sample (n=100) divided into two groups: male (n=40) and female (n=60). Data collection was carried out between August and December 2019. The cardiac variables and general characteristics were compared between the groups (Student's t test). Results: Female group had smaller values of LV diastolic and systolic diameters, aortic diameter, and lower thicknesses of the LV posterior wall and interventricular septum when compared to males. There was no difference between the groups for the variables E/A and E/e'. Female group showed lower values of LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes while it showed increased ejection fraction and LV endocardial shortening. Conclusion: Female group presents alterations of cardiac structure and systolic function, which seems to be associated with unequal body composition between men and women.
