Today, on World Menopause Day, Professor Albert Ferro - specialist in Cardiovascular Medicine and Chair of Healthy Heart Trust gives his top tips on how small lifestyle changes can help prevent heart disease in menopausal women. “Despite major advances in its treatment, heart disease remains the biggest cause of death and disability worldwide. Before the menopause, women are better protected from heart disease, but after the menopause their risk rapidly catches up to that of men. Here we suggest some simple tips for women after the menopause to minimise their risk and ensure they can keep their heart and blood circulation in good shape.   Heart disease is important not only because of its effects on physical and mental health, but also because of its knock on effects in the workplace and on society. If you work with an organisation affected by this, do get in touch with us to talk about how we can work with you to promote and educate on prevention of heart disease.” #worldmenopauseday #womenshealth #menopause #cardiovascular #healthyheart Albert Ferro

Useful and accessible tips from the Healthy Heart Trust, where medical professionals engage directly with the public. Here, we address heart health and the menopause, an important risk area that is often missed or misunderstood.

• Daily beetroot juice intake could help protect heart health after menopause. • Daily beetroot juice may promote cardiovascular health in women at the post menopausal stage, a new study claims. • The juice may be a good source of critical nitrate that keeps blood vessels functioning well. The study found, however, that when participants stopped drinking beetroot juice, the beneficial effects waned within 24 hours. • During and after menopause, the body produces less oestrogen, often leading to poorer blood vessel function and a greater risk of cardiovascular disease. • A new randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover clinical trial from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) suggests that consuming beetroot juice daily may improve blood flow through blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart problems. • Beets — and beetroot juice — are high in nitrates. The study observed improved blood vessel performance in participants who drank beet root juice daily. #contentwriting #cfr #information #audienceengagement #health

📢 New 1M€ #AXAChair on #Menopause Effects on Cardiovascular Risk in Seville 💔 Shocking figure: in Europe, a woman dies every 6 mins due to cardiovascular disease - this happens every minute in the USA. Little known fact: cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, causing 35% of deaths in women each year(*). Yet the cardiovascular risk in women has not received the needed attention, remaining under-investigated, under-known, under-diagnosed and under-treated. Cardiovascular risk increases during #menopause, which is associated to changes in weight, lipids, blood pressure and glucose metabolism. Understanding menopause’s effect on women’s cardiovascular risk is the aim of the new AXA chair, that will be led by Dr. Inés Pineda-Torra, an internationally renowned expert in lipid metabolism in cardiometabolic context. The research project, hosted by the University of Seville at CABIMER, will combine multiomic hypothesis-generating and focused hypothesis-driven analyses to gain detailed mechanistic insights. The goal is to enable strategies for raising awareness, preventing and better addressing cardiovascular risk women can face upon menopause. All best to Ines and her much needed research project!

Prior to menopause, women have a lower risk of CVD than men. During the menopausal transition, CVD risk escalates. Why? A key reason is the drop in oestrogen. Oestrogen is important for blood vessel health and integrity, lower cholesterol levels, and lower blood pressure. Oestradiol has been found to decrease morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease. Monitoring levels of oestrogen during perimenopause and the menopausal transition may help to assess risk for future cardiovascular disease. Some markers on the DUTCH Test may offer information that may correlate to warning signs of CVD.

A recent study published in Menopause, the journal of The Menopause Society, suggests that chronic kidney disease may also be linked with tooth loss. The study, involving nearly 65,000 participants, identified a link between poorer glomerular filtration rate, an indicator of kidney function, and increased tooth loss. This finding strengthens the connection between chronic kidney disease and systemic health complications, including oral health in postmenopausal women. These results support the importance of comprehensive healthcare management for postmenopausal women. Early detection and intervention for chronic kidney disease may not only improve overall health outcomes but also could reduce the risk of tooth loss, a significant concern impacting chewing, speech, and overall well-being. This study suggests that managing mineral and bone metabolism disorders in postmenopausal women with chronic kidney disease could be crucial for preventing tooth loss.

Why Is Heart Disease Linked to Menopause? As women age, the risk of heart disease increases, particularly after menopause. In fact, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women over 40. The loss of estrogen, which offers some cardiovascular protection, plays a significant role in this heightened risk. Each year, more than 400,000 women in the U.S. die from heart disease—roughly one death every minute. Understanding this connection is key to taking preventive steps for heart health during and after menopause. https://lnkd.in/gtMfm-Et #menopause #HeartHealth #heartdisease #cardiology

🚨 ꜰᴇʙʀᴜᴀʀʏ ɪꜱ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴀᴡᴀʀᴇɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴍᴏɴᴛʜ 🚨 𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘? The journey through #perimenopause and #menopause significantly impacts women's heart health, marking a crucial window for cardiovascular prevention efforts. As estrogen levels drop, women face increased risks of high blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome, all of which contribute to a higher likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases. 📖 ʟᴇᴀʀɴ ᴍᴏʀᴇ: https://lnkd.in/gW_XjJkv As we recognize the pivotal role of menopause in women's cardiovascular health, let's advocate for increased awareness, education, and preventative measures. Together, we can support women in navigating this transition with the best possible care for their hearts! Remember, it's NEVER TOO LATE to start making changes that benefit your heart health. 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 We encourage individuals and corporations alike to join us in spreading awareness and supporting initiatives aimed at improving heart health among menopausal women in Asia.
