Are Certain Gynecological Conditions Linked to Higher CVD Risk?
Yes, certain gynecological conditions are linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. For instance, women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often have higher risks of developing hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, all of which contribute to cardiovascular risk. Additionally, women with a history of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or preterm birth are at an increased risk for developing CVD later in life.
