Sindrome ovarica poliquistica e rischio a lungo termine di aritmie.

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and a higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. PCOS has been associated with electrocardiographic alterations. However, the potential long-term risk of cardiac arrhythmias in women with PCOS remains insufficiently investigated. METHODS: Women diagnosed with PCOS in Denmark (1977-2024) were matched on age and year of index with female controls from the background population (ratio 1:4). The primary outcome was incident arrhythmia, with subtype of arrhythmia and cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED, ie, pacemaker and cardioverter defibrillator implantation) implantation as
