Patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are at greater cardiovascular risk. We investigated the association between ADHD symptoms and cardiovascular disease in women at a specialized Dutch cardiological clinic. Lifetime ADHD symptoms were found in 35% of women (n = 300) with cardiac complaints. Women with ADHD symptoms compared to those without were significantly younger but had no different cardiological profile. To protect women's health, further research and multidisciplinary cooperation is required to better understand the relationship between ADHD and cardiovascular disease.
患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的患者心血管疾病风险更高。我们在荷兰一家专门的心脏病学诊所调查了女性 ADHD 症状与心血管疾病之间的关系。有心脏不适的女性中(n=300)有 35%存在终生 ADHD 症状。有 ADHD 症状的女性比没有 ADHD 症状的女性明显更年轻,但心血管疾病特征没有差异。为了保护女性健康,需要进一步研究和多学科合作,以更好地了解 ADHD 和心血管疾病之间的关系。
