The Cardiometabolic Effects of Menopause

The authors aim to explore how menopause influences cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in women, highlighting the significant biological changes that occur during this transition. They synthesize current evidence on menopause-related factors and symptoms that contribute to increased CVD risk, advocating for the integration of menopause-specific considerations into routine cardiovascular risk assessments to enhance early intervention and improve long-term health outcomes for women.
