Does menopause raise my chances of getting cardiovascular disease?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The risk of heart disease or cardiovascular disease increases after menopause. Family history plays a role. Best chances of preventing heart disease are: maintain normal weight, exercise, don't smoke, keep blood pressure and cholesterol under check. Increasing evidence suggests that starting estrogen at the onset of menopause may help prevent heart disease.
