The purpose of this review is to outline the main aspects of sex-related differences in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathies (DCM), focusing on chemotherapy-induced heart failure and investigating possible management applications in the era of personalized medicine. In a recent work by Cannatà et al., female sex resulted, in a large population of DCM patients (n = 1113 of total prospectively enrolled patients; n = 586 selected for analysis), as an independent favorable predictor for long-term cardiovascular outcomes (including cardiovascular mortality/need for heart transplantation or ventricular assist device) [43] . In a large cohort of patients treated with anthracyclines for different types of malignancies, major adverse cardiac events (symptomatic heart failure or cardiac death) were more frequent in men than in women [63] . ./cache/cord-340253-lpner9f8.txt ./txt/cord-340253-lpner9f8.txt
