What is the Importance of Menopause in Cardiovascular Health?
Menopause is associated with significant hormonal changes that can impact cardiovascular health. The AHA highlights the importance of monitoring cardiovascular risk factors during and after menopause. This includes managing cholesterol levels, maintaining a healthy weight, and encouraging physical activity. Gynecologists should provide counseling on the cardiovascular risks associated with menopause and the potential benefits and risks of HRT.
