Introduction: Recent data indicate that women affected by the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at a greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the association ethinylestradiol 30 μg–drospirenone 3 mg (DRP/EE30 μg) plus metformin and weight loss on surrogate markers of CVD in PCOS.Methods: Twenty-five young women with PCOS (mean age 22.76±0.83 years, body mass index (BMI...

Aim: The aim of our study was to assess the presence of endothelial dysfunction and of increased carotid intimae-media thickness (IMT), two precocious markers of atherosclerosis in PCOS subjects. Simultaneously, their relationship with some metabolic, hormonal and anthropometric parameters was analyzed.Methods: The study group consisted of 45 women with PCOS (age=23.1±4.1 years, body mass index (BMI) =28.4±5.9 kg/m2). Thirty-two heal...
