| 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. |
