Abstract
Purpose of review: Characterize the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Review the pathophysiological pathways that confers CVD risk in individuals with PCOS and interventions to reduce CVD risk.
Recent findings: PCOS is a complex syndrome characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries that has metabolic and cardiovascular implications. Intrinsic hormonal dysregulation and chronic low-grade inflammation play an important role in the progression of atherosclerosis in young premenopausal individuals and development of CVD independently of associated traditional risk factors. Management with metformin reduces CVD risk by reducing atherosclerosis progression. PCOS is an important CVD risk factor among individuals of reproductive age. Early detection and interventions are needed to mitigate development of CVD.
期刊介绍：
The aim of this journal is to systematically provide expert views on current basic science and clinical advances in the field of atherosclerosis and highlight the most important developments likely to transform the field of cardiovascular prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors who select leading experts from around the world to provide definitive reviews on key topics and papers published in the past year. We also provide supplementary reviews and commentaries from well-known figures in the field. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
