See the technical phrasing

In adults with chronic kidney disease undergoing kidney transplantation, women exhibit a greater reduction in left atrial volume index (LAVI) over six months compared to men, despite starting with higher baseline LAVI (45.18 vs. 29.05 mL/m²), indicating sex-specific reverse remodeling of atrial structure.
