4.1.2 Hysterectomy and risk of other cardiovascular diseases
In relationship between hysterectomy and CVD, we found a 16% increased risk. And a 18% increase was found in risk of CVD in women who have hysterectomy without oophorectomy compared to people without hysterectomy.
Statistical significances were found in the relationship between hysterectomy and risk of hypertension, hysterectomy with oophorectomy and hypertension, hysterectomy with ovarian preservation and hypertension.
And in our research, it showed hysterectomy, whether with oophorectomy or not, did not influence the risk of stroke. Our result was consistent with other studies.10, 27, 40, 41 There was evidence that hysterectomy was associated with increased risk of CAD but not of stroke were restricted among women who did not have hysterectomy and oophorectomy simultaneously.10 Because lacking of data about the time of oophorectomy relative to hysterectomy, we did not do the further exploration.
