Implication

Reduced HRR in young overweight PCOS women may signal autonomic dysfunction and higher CV risk; leaves open its incremental prognostic value in risk stratification.

Structured PICO

Does polycystic ovary syndrome impair heart rate recovery after maximal exercise in young overweight women?

Population

150 young overweight women, comprising 75 with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 75 healthy controls matched for age and body mass index.

Intervention

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (exposure)

Comparator

Healthy women matched for age and body mass index

Outcome

Heart rate recovery (HRR) defined as the fall in heart rate during the first minute after maximal exercise on cardiopulmonary exercise testsurrogate

Young overweight women with PCOS exhibit abnormal heart rate recovery and impaired exercise capacity, suggesting autonomic dysfunction and increased cardiovascular risk.
