HealthCardiovascular Surgeon Explains 3 Heart Risks of Menopause
Menopause, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years after 12 months without menstruation, increases cardiovascular risks. Dr. Jeremy London, a US board-certified cardiovascular surgeon with 25 years of experience, explains that menopause raises blood pressure due to decreased estrogen and nitric oxide, which normally relax blood vessels. This creates a 'perfect storm' for heart disease in menopausal women.
