How does Menopause Influence Cardiovascular Health?
Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years and is associated with a significant decrease in estrogen levels. This hormonal shift can contribute to an unfavorable lipid profile, increased blood pressure, and other risk factors for CVD. Postmenopausal women are advised to adopt heart-healthy lifestyles and, in some cases, may benefit from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) under medical supervision.
