Young women with heavy and painful periods due to a disorder called endometriosis - abnormal growth of uterine tissue - are three times as likely to develop heart attack compared to those without the disorder, says a study. In endometriosis - which is also associated with infertility - tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it.

"Women with endometriosis should be aware that they may be at higher risk for heart disease compared to women without endometriosis, and this increased risk may be highest when they are young," said the study's lead author Fan Mu from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, US.
