Description
Summary: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.
