Patients with Sheehan syndrome (SS) are predisposed to coronary artery disease (CAD) due to risk factors like abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and chronic inflammation. In addition to estimate CAD risk enhancers like high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and lipoprotein A [Lp(a)], this study applies Framingham risk score (FRS) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to compute a 10‐year probability of cardiovascular (CV) events in SS patients.
