Currently available evidence suggests that women with endometriosis are at higher lifetime risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) than women without endometriosis. However, robust evidence is still severely lacking and future studies are needed to more definitively evaluate a possible causal association between ASCVD risk and endometriosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
