Implication

PCOS may be linked to higher MI risk; leaves open causality and whether prevention strategies should change.

Structured PICO

Does polycystic ovary syndrome increase the risk of developing myocardial infarction in women?

Population
33 women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 132 age-matched referents, evaluated using a risk factor model established from a prospective population study of 1462 women in Göteborg, Sweden.

Comparator

O
Outcome
Estimated risk of developing myocardial infarctionhard clinical

Women with PCOS have a substantially higher estimated risk of myocardial infarction, suggesting that aggressive risk factor modification, including dietary restriction, is warranted.
