Menopause transition linked to increased CVD risk in women, per study by Dr. Stephanie Moreno.

A recent study led by Dr. Stephanie Moreno from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center found that women undergoing menopause transition face an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The research suggests that menopause may lead to changes in lipoprotein profiles, increasing the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease. These findings challenge the previous belief that CVD is predominantly a male issue and may warrant earlier interventions for managing lipoprotein changes and reducing cardiovascular risk.
