In Cardiovascular Disease: About Cardiovascular Disease the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health (JH) elaborate on:

“Cardiovascular disease includes diseases of the heart, veins and arteries. Many people think that cardiovascular disease is more likely to be associated with men. However, cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death in women”.

In Women & CVD the WHF note:

“Cardiovascular disease is responsible for 35% of deaths in women each year – more than all cancers combined”.

Menopause

Is there an association between menopause and CVD?

In What Is Menopause? The Menopause Transition: Heart Health the JH note:

“Before menopause, women have a lower risk of heart disease than men. However, as women age and their oestrogen levels fall, their risk of cardiovascular disease increases. Heart disease is one of the leading cause of death for Australian women. Heart disease also claims three times as many lives as breast cancer”.
