Abstract: Background: Left ventricular stroke work per unit myocardium (LVSWM) and cardiac power output per unit myocardium (CPOM) are important measures of myocardial workload. The sex differences in the myocardial workload and its correlation with blood pressure remain largely unclear. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the sex differences in LVSWM and CPOM, and to relate them to blood pressure in a cohort of apparently healthy adults. Methods: The LVSWM and CPOM were estimated in 596 age- and heart rate-matched apparently healthy adults (298 men) using transthoracic echocardiography combined with cuff-measured brachial blood pressure. The data were compared between sexes, and the sex differences in LVSWM and CPOM were related to blood pressure. Results: After adjustment for the blood pressure, the LVSWM and CPOM were higher in women than in men [75.0 (73.7–76.4) vs 64.9 (63.5–66.2) cJ/100g for LVSWM, and 912.4 (894.1–930.6) vs 780.2 (762.0–798.5) milliwatt/100g for CPOM, respectively; all P
