What is the significance of CFR in patients with PCOS?
PCOS is associated with a higher prevalence of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, all of which are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that women with PCOS often have reduced CFR, indicating impaired coronary microvascular function. Regular assessment of CFR in PCOS patients can help in early detection of cardiovascular risks and guide the implementation of preventive measures.
