Recently, a growing body of evidence has highlighted a concerning link between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease. Endometriosis, a chronic, inflammatory hormone-dependent condition affecting 5 to 10% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, has long been associated with reproductive and gynecological consequences. However, emerging research has suggested that it may also contribute to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This paper aims to shed light on the importance of recognizing cardio-endometriosis as a new and developing sphere of research in the field of cardiology, thereby urging the medical community to address this pressing issue.
