Cardiovascular Risk PCOS

Meaning

Cardiovascular Risk PCOS refers to the significantly increased likelihood of developing adverse cardiac and vascular outcomes in individuals diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. This elevated risk profile is not solely due to obesity, but is intrinsically linked to the underlying endocrine and metabolic dysregulations characteristic of PCOS, including chronic hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Clinical management must prioritize the early identification and aggressive modification of these interconnected risk factors, such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, and endothelial dysfunction, which collectively accelerate atherosclerotic progression. This endocrine-metabolic syndrome requires a proactive, longitudinal clinical strategy.
