Menopause is associated with a decline in estrogen levels, which can affect cardiovascular health and increase the risk of arrhythmias. Estrogen has a protective effect on the heart, and its reduction can lead to changes in the electrical properties of the heart. Postmenopausal women are at a higher risk for atrial fibrillation and other types of arrhythmias. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be considered, but it is essential to weigh the benefits against the risks in consultation with a healthcare provider.
