 New Study: POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME AND CARDIOVASCULAR RISK

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome AssociationDr Alicia Chan is a Cardiologist at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and is currently running a study looking at link between PCOS and heart disease.

The hospital have had a recent publication in an international journal (see attached) on this subject. It is the first study in this area to suggest PCOS per se independent of presence of obesity or insulin resistance/diabetes may be an independent risk factor for heart disease.

As their study only involved very strictly selected individuals form a young age group, they are now doing a larger trial on women age between 20-60 years of age.

They are halfway through study but am looking for 40 more PCOS subjects and controls to participate, specifically ages between 20-30 and 40-60.

It involves a one off two hour visit to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

More details can be found here.

 Hidden help: the good news story you never heard

Something of a minor miracle happened last weekend. The Federal Government announced funding of more than $1.13m for a research alliance, and it didn't make the news.

Big deal? It is a big deal and we should be shouting it from the rooftops, because it could quite literally save thousands of lives, help many infertile women have families and stop their siblings and parents from developing a serious health condition.
