What Are the Cardiac Implications of Gynecologic Surgeries?
Gynecologic surgeries, such as hysterectomy and oophorectomy, can have implications for cardiac function. The stress of surgery, anesthesia, and postoperative recovery can affect cardiovascular stability. Additionally, the removal of ovaries leads to a sudden drop in estrogen levels, which may accelerate cardiovascular aging. Preoperative cardiac assessment and postoperative monitoring are critical.
