Article Synopsis
- Sheehan's Syndrome (SS) leads to hypopituitarism and growth hormone deficiency, heightening cardiovascular risks such as coronary artery disease (CAD) among affected individuals.
- The study involved 30 SS patients and 30 matched controls, using advanced imaging techniques to evaluate coronary calcium deposits as indicators of heart disease risk.
- Results showed that SS patients had significantly higher levels of unhealthy cholesterol and a much greater prevalence of coronary calcium deposits (42.1% vs. 5.3%) compared to controls, highlighting the need for further cardiovascular risk assessment in these patients.
