Does polycystic ovary syndrome increase subclinical markers of vascular risk in young women compared to healthy controls?

Population

60 young women, including 28 with PCOS, 17 with eumenorrheic PCO, and 15 healthy controls, evaluated for subclinical markers of vascular disease.

Exposure

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Comparator

Eumenorrheic PCO women and healthy eumenorrheic volunteers

Outcome

Subclinical markers of vascular disease (including Doppler ultrasound of uterine/ovarian/ophthalmic arteries, brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilatation, and biochemical/hormonal parameters)surrogate

Young women with PCOS exhibit subclinical markers of increased vascular risk, including endothelial dysfunction and atherogenic lipid profiles, compared to healthy controls.

Battaglia et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Polycystic ovary syndrome (n=60). Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) vs. Eumenorrheic PCO women and healthy controls was evaluated on Subclinical markers of vascular disease. Young women with PCOS exhibited increased subclinical vascular risk markers, including higher uterine pulsatility index and reduced flow-mediated vasodilatation compared with controls.
