Notably, while not statistically significant (possibly due to the small sample size in the female cohort and therefore lack of power), female patients showed a trend towards higher LV amyloid load in the biopsies at first diagnosis (females: mean = 18.6 ± 4.0% vs. males: 15.3 ± 1.7%, p = n.s.), potentially indicating that female patients may have been diagnosed at a later stage of the disease.
