Fostering cardio-endometriosis: a call to action for a comprehensive understanding of cardiovascular disease in endometriosis

Abstract

Abstract Recently, a growing body of evidence has highlighted a concerning link between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease. Endometriosis, a chronic, inflammatory, hormone-dependent condition affecting 5–10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, has long been associated with reproductive and gynaecological consequences. However, emerging research has suggested that it may also contribute to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This paper aims to shed light on the importance of recognizing cardio-endometriosis as a new and developing sphere of research in the field of cardiology, thereby urging the medical community to address this pressing issue.
