Menopause raises women’s heart disease risk; OMRON warns of undiagnosed hypertension and urges early screening.
On International Women’s Day, OMRON Healthcare released a Women’s Heart Health Factbook warning that menopause significantly increases women’s risk of cardiovascular disease due to declining estrogen affecting blood pressure and vascular health.
The report highlights that 32% of women aged 30 to 79 globally have hypertension, often undiagnosed or undertreated due to historical research and clinical biases.
Symptoms like fatigue and palpitations—commonly linked to menopause—may actually signal underlying heart conditions such as hypertension or atrial fibrillation.
Experts urge routine blood pressure monitoring across all life stages and improved awareness to address the persistent care gap and enable early intervention.
The full Factbook is available online.
