Endometriosis is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the cellular basis for this relationship remains unclear. We examined whether peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis alters cardiomyocyte behavio…

The technique of microneurography has advanced our understanding of the sympathetic nervous system's role in the neurovascular control of blood pressure in humans, yet critical knowledge gaps remain, particularly across the premenopausal fe…

Women with endometriosis, an inflammatory disease, are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and demonstrate impaired microvascular endothelial function, characterized by reduced nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasodilation. In some clinic…
