Abstract
There are identified differences in the electrophysiology structure and measurements in women and men. An understanding of these differences and of the increased incidence and prevalence of dysrhythmias in women, the differences in presentation, and the differences in risk factors for these dysrhythmias will help guide treatment decisions. As new knowledge is gained through research, practitioners can provide gender-specific care to women who have or are at increased risk of cardiac dysrhythmia.
