This article is a literature review examining how cardiovascular risk in women is shaped by determinants that differ from those used in men, including hormonal factors, obstetric complications, migraine, endometriosis, and chronic inflammatory diseases. It reports that these conditions influence both arterial and venous cardiovascular risk and that they are often not captured by standard risk scores, motivating the need for better risk stratification tools, personalized prevention approaches, and improved life-course information. The main limitation is that it synthesizes existing literature rather than presenting new original patient data or outcomes. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper specifically identifies endometriosis as one of several women-specific conditions that modifies arterial and venous cardiovascular risk, while the overall focus is a targeted framework for screening and prevention in women.

Abstract

In women, cardiovascular risk is influenced by factors that differ from those in men, including hormonal status, obstetric complications, and specific conditions such as migraine, endometriosis, or chronic inflammatory diseases. These factors affect both arterial and venous risk, which are often not accounted for by standard risk scores. This literature review highlights these women-specific factors, emphasizing the need for appropriate risk stratification tools, personalized prevention strategies, and improved information for women throughout their lives.

Résumé Chez la femme, le risque cardio-vasculaire est influencé par des facteurs différents de ceux reconnus pour la population masculine : facteurs hormonaux, complications obstétricales, maladies spécifiques comme la migraine, l’endométriose ou les maladies inflammatoires chroniques. Ces éléments modifient les risques artériel et veineux, qui, souvent, ne sont pas pris en compte par les scores classiques. Cette revue de la littérature met en avant ces déterminants féminins qui justifient du besoin d’outils de stratification, et d’une prévention personnalisée ainsi que d’une information renforcée tout au long de la vie.
