In two independent cohorts of patients with heart failure, plasma concentrations of ACE2 were higher in men than in women, but use of neither an ACE inhibitor nor an ARB was associated with higher plasma ACE2 concentrations. We therefore investigated plasma concentrations of ACE2 in two large and independent cohorts of men and women with heart failure according to the use of RAAS inhibitors. In two large independent cohorts of patients with heart failure, we found that plasma ACE2 concentrations were higher in men than in women. In two large cohorts of patients with heart failure, plasma ACE2 concentrations were higher in men than in women, possibly reflecting higher tissue expression of this receptor for SARS coronavirus infections. ./cache/cord-353092-4hz2yyl5.txt ./txt/cord-353092-4hz2yyl5.txt
