Menopause and your heart

This talk was delivered by Dr Emma O'Donnell, Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at Loughborough University, in June 2022. The talk discussed menopause and its impact on the heart.
Before menopause, cardiovascular disease risk is lower in women than men. After menopause, cardiovascular disease risk increases in women in association with the loss of the cardioprotective effects of estrogen. In this talk Dr O’Donnell will examine the role of estrogen in cardiovascular health in women, and will discuss why replacement of estrogen with hormone therapy during menopause is not indicated for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
