Sex Hormones and Cardiovascular Disease in Relation to Menopause

Catherine Kim et al. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Natural menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation among women who have not undergone hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy. The implications of menopause management are particularly important with the aging of the population and increasing awareness of the importance of midlife risk upon longevity. Our understanding of the relationships between reproductive milestones and cardiovascular disease continues to evolve particularly regarding shared determinants of health.
