For many cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome, an adverse impact on endothelial function as well as an association with FSD have been recognized. In this scenario, similarly to penile Doppler blood flow studies in men, clitoral Doppler ultrasound can represent an innovative and useful tool to early reveal the presence of CV risk factors and sexual dysfunction. Notably, although the prevalence of CVDs as well as of FSD increases as a function of menopause and aging, middle-aged women have shown a higher prevalence of distressing sexual problems than older and younger women.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>It becomes clinically relevant to assess particularly postmenopausal women for FSD and CVDs, since both disorders still remain underdiagnosed and sub-optimally untreated. Clitoral Doppler ultrasound could represent a useful technique to diagnose the presence of underlying CVD, which along with risk factors could predict sexual dysfunction in women.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Strengths &amp; Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This review focuses on a very important and innovative topic, providing a context for describing, elaborating and evaluating the relevant theory that sexual dysfunction could be a harbinger for CVDs also in women. However, its narrative nature as well as the lack of specifically designed studies to assess a definitive association between FSD and CVDs represent the principle limitations of this paper.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Postmenopausal women, particularly those in the middle-age range, should be assessed for CV risk factors and FSD, so that both CVDs and sexual problems do not persist unnoticed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsxm.2022.06.007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]],"date-time":"2022-07-20T04:32:34Z","timestamp":1658291554000},"page":"1321-1332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Sexual Dysfunction as a Harbinger of Cardiovascular Disease in Postmenopausal Women: How Far Are We?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Cipriani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Andrology, Women\u2019s Endocrinology and Gender Incongruence Unit, Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences \"Mario Serio\", University of Florence , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James A.","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ob\/Gyn, George Washington University School of Medicine, Intim Medicine Specialists , Washington, DC , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023010704060323900_bib0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"144","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsxm.2015.12.034","article-title":"Incidence and prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women and men: a consensus statement from the Fourth International Consultation on Sexual Medicine 2015","volume":"13","author":"McCabe","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Sex Med"},{"key":"2023010704060323900_bib0002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"508","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sxmr.2018.02.009","article-title":"Cardiometabolic risk and female sexuality-Part I.
