Is there a correlation between heart rate recovery and androgen parameters in polycystic ovary syndrome? Heart rate recovery in polycystic ovary syndrome

Objectives: In our preliminary study, we assessed heart rate recovery (HRR) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and controls by subjecting them to moderate exercise estimating androgen levels, examined the correlation between HRR levels. Methods: 30 newly diagnosed cases of PCOS comparable anthropometric measurements performed isotonic exercise. Serum testosterone DHEAS levels were measured. The was calculated as difference maximum 1st, 5th 10th minute after end Results: Heart at 1 (p=0.001) 5 minutes, (p=0.002) significantly impaired patients. Testosterone (p=0.100) (p=0.061) elevated compared normal controls, although this not statistically significant. A positive observed (testosterone: r=0.318; p=0.08, DHEAS: r=0.064; p=0.07). Conclusion: Decreased cardiovascular fitness increased have been Impaired HRR, reflecting sympathetic overactivity, has also PCOS. We therefore suggest that is an accurate sensitive marker detect early signs impairment enables timely measures avoid further morbidity.
