Cardiovascular disease and stroke: Menopause (update)
Excerpt
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (including coronary heart disease and stroke) is the most common cause of death in women worldwide (1 in 2) and the risk of developing CVD increases after the menopause. There has been controversy about the possible influence of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on CVD risk where epidemiological data initially suggested a reduced risk of CHD with long-term HRT usage. However, subsequent randomised controlled trials (RCTs) suggested an increased risk if HRT is initiated after a long period post menopause. The aim of this review was to determine the risks and benefits associated with HRT use and CVD to empower healthcare providers, and women, non-binary, and trans people with menopause to make fully informed therapeutic decisions.
