Laparoscopically-confirmed endometriosis and risk of incident stroke: a prospective cohort study
Prior research has suggested that women with endometriosis are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, including myocardial infarction and hypertension. However, there has been limited research on endometriosis and risk of stroke, which may have similar underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms. Therefore, our objective was to prospectively investigate the association between laparoscopically-confirmed endometriosis and risk of incident stroke during 28 years of follow-up.
