Yes, women may have unique risk factors for CAD, including:
- Pregnancy-related conditions like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and hypertension can increase the long-term risk of CAD. - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia, which are risk factors for CAD. - Early menopause (natural or surgical) can lead to a higher risk of CAD due to reduced estrogen levels.
