Menopause and Heart Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and rates have been on the rise for women aged 45 to 64 years. Dr. Erin Michos discusses the relationship between menopause and heart disease and indicates that the menopause transition is a good time to get a cardiovascular check-up. (www.menopause.org)

loved this. I had my last cycle end of 2017 and finally found someone who started me on the minimum dose to protect against heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's. I had a cac test in august of 2023, and had a score of 213. is that too high to start hrt? I hope not. I never want to stop it.
