In order to determine the influence of PCOS and obesity on vascular parameters, we studied 25 patients with PCOS (10 with normal body mass index BMI and 15 obese) without classic cardiovascular risk factors (IGT or DM, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia) and 23 control women (12 with normal BMI and 11 obese), pairwise matched for BMI, through a non-invasive method using high resolution ultrasound imaging. Global age range was 26.0±4.7 years. The mean values...
