RESUMO
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine and reproductive disorder in women of childbearing age. It is characterized by persistent anovulation and hyperandrogen. Its clinical manifestations are heterogeneous, which seriously affects the mental health and quality of life in patients with PCOS. Due to the characteristics of obesity and metabolic abnormalities in PCOS women, the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has attracted extensive attention. In recent years, more and more studies have confirmed that the incidence of CVD in PCOS women is significantly higher than that in the general population. Therefore, it is very important to fully understand the relevant risk factors leading to the increased risk of CVD in women with PCOS, so as to timely prevent and intervene the relevant risk factors and reduce the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular events in the future.
