Abstract:
Objective To explore cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) phenotype.Methods This study was a prospective follow-up study which included subjects with PCOS phenotype admitted from Jan.1st, 2005 to Dec.31st, 2007 in Gynecology Department of Dongyang People's Hospital.These subjects were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of PCOS phe -notype and were followed .Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate .The survival difference be-tween the two groups was compared using the log-rank test.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was used to determine the independent risk factors of major adverse cardiac events ( MACE) .Results 11 patients in non-PCOS phenotype group had MACE , and 6 patients in PCOS phenotype group had MACE .PCOS phenotype group had a significantly decreased MACE-free survival(χ2 =4.957,P=0.026).Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that low level of HDL-C, presence of PCOS phenotype and high level of hs-CRP were independent predictors for MACE .Conclusion PCOS phenotype is an independent risk factor for car-diovascular disease in postmenopausal women , help to make further risk stratification and shows cardiovascular disease is closely related to PCOS .
