Coronary heart disease risk profile in women who underwent salpingo-oophorectomy to prevent hereditary breast ovarian cancer.



CONCLUSIONS: Self-selection of women seeking risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, changes in lifestyle after surgery, and survival bias may explain that the women who underwent risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy had a more favorable coronary heart disease risk profile compared with the controls. Longitudinal studies are needed to further clarify the associations observed in this cross-sectional study.
