Abstract
Background: Obesity in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is an acceptable marker in assessing the risk of heart disease.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the CIMT in PCOS women compared to non-PCOS women.
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 48 women who referred to Imam Reza hospital, Kermanshah, Iran from July 2020-2021. Women were divided into 2 groups of PCOS and non-PCOS women (n = 24/each). The intima-media thickness of participants' carotid artery was measured on both sides in 3 areas, and its mean was recorded.
Results: The mean thickness of the carotid artery intima-media in the case group was within the normal range; but it was significantly higher than the control group (0.71 0.17 vs. 0.57 0.09 mm, p = 0.019).
Conclusion: Considering the higher thickness of CIMT in women with PCOS, it can be concluded that PCOS increases the risk of heart diseases in women.
背景：多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的肥胖可能增加心血管疾病的风险。颈动脉内膜-中膜厚度（CIMT）是评估心脏病风险的一个可接受的指标。目的：本研究旨在评价PCOS妇女与非PCOS妇女的CIMT。材料和方法：本横断面研究对2020年7月至2021年7月在伊朗Kermanshah的Imam Reza医院转诊的48名妇女进行了研究。将女性分为多囊卵巢综合征和非多囊卵巢综合征两组，每组24例。测量受试者颈动脉两侧3个区域内-中膜厚度，取其平均值。结果：病例组颈动脉内膜-中膜平均厚度在正常范围内；但明显高于对照组（0.71±0.17 vs. 0.57±0.09 mm, p = 0.019）。结论：考虑到PCOS女性CIMT厚度较高，PCOS增加了女性患心脏病的风险。
