Sex-related disparities have been recognized in incidence, pathological findings, pathophysiological mechanisms, and diagnostic pathways of non-rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Furthermore, access to treatments and outcomes for surgical and interventional therapies among women and men appears to be different. Despite this, current European and US guidelines have identified common diagnostic and therapeutic pathways that do not consider patient sex in decision-making. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence on sex-related differences in non-rheumatic mitral regurgitation, particularly regarding incidence, imaging modalities, surgical-derived evidence, and outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, with the goal of informing clinicians about sex-specific challenges to consider when making treatment decisions for patients with mitral regurgitation.
