Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy in reproductive women. Cardiovascular disease risk factors are more frequent in this population. We aimed in this study to investigate presence of QT dispersion and effects of sex hormones and insulin on QT duration in young PCOS patients.
