Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) : Sex-Specific Differences in Blood Pressure and Cerebral Microangiopathy in Patients with TGA
Transient global amnesia (TGA) is defined by an acute memory disturbance of unclear aetiology for a period of less than 24 h. Observed psychological, neuroanatomical and hormonal differences between the sexes in episodic memory suggest sex-specific differences in memory disorders such as TGA. The aim of this study was to determine sex-specific differences in cardiovascular risk profiles, recurrences and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In total, 372 hospitalised TGA patients between 01/2011 and 10/2021 were retrospectively analysed. Comparisons were made between female and male TGA patients and compared to 216 patients with acute stroke. In our sample, women were overrepresented (61.8%), especially compared to the general population in the 65−74 age category (χ2 = 10.6, p < 0.02). On admission, female TGA patients had significantly higher systolic blood pressure values and a higher degree of cerebral microangiopathy compared to male TGA patients, whereas acute stroke patients did not. No sex-specific differences were observed with respect to recurrences or hippocampal DWI lesions. Our data demonstrate sex-specific differences in TGA. The higher blood pressure on admission and different degree of cerebral microangiopathy in female TGA patients supports the theory of blood pressure dysregulation as a disease trigger. Distinct precipitating events in female and male patients could lead to differences in the severity and duration of blood pressure abnormalities, possibly explaining the higher incidence in female patients.
