ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN

Аннотация

According to the literature review, it was found that after the onset of menopause, 70% of women develop cardiovascular diseases, and 30% develop osteoporosis. Women with menopausal symptoms show adverse changes with an increased risk of CVD. However, it remains unclear whether the presence of menopausal symptoms can actually predict clinical CVD events or whether it is primarily due to associated risk factors for cardiovascular events. To date, no consensus has been reached on this issue. There are many proposed mechanisms that explain the role of endogenous estrogen as a protector of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Consequently, cardiovascular diseases remain the main cause of morbidity and mortality in women in many countries, among people in the postmenopausal period, and it is quite possible that with an increase in the number of older people, they will remain the main risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases and mortality.
