The American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines assess heart failure (HF) via comorbidities, laboratory markers, and echocardiography, while the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification evaluates functional capacity. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between objectified HF-related symptoms and cardiac and muscular exercise capacity in Stage B HF patients with non-reduced ejection fraction. As secondary endpoints, we stratified this analysis for subgroups of NYHA classes to evaluate the primary endpoint for different levels of impairment and for sex to address for differences between men and women.

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is a category of disease related to sex differences, with a significantly higher incidence in women than in men. In addition to X chromosome inactivation abnormalities, Estrogen and estrogen receptors may lead to the sex differences in AITD. Estrogen, estrogen receptors and estrogen receptor-mediated signaling pathways can affect the number and function of immune cells and the function of the thyroid to promote the development of AITD.

Heart failure (HF) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Although there are inconsistencies, epidemiological studies have implicated sex hormones (SHs) in pathways that are linked to HF. The age-related decline in SH levels causes physiological changes that differentially impact HF risk in both sexes.
