Many women have never discussed heart health with a clinician, and most report multiple symptoms
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, and the risk rises during the menopause years. But an international study has revealed that only half of women know this.
AI Summary
An international survey of 7,470 women aged 40 to 60 in Ireland, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Lithuania and Colombia found that only about half are aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women and that risk increases during menopause. Many participants have never discussed heart health with a doctor or nurse, yet the majority report experiencing multiple symptoms. The responses were analyzed under the Horizon Europe CARAMEL project, which assesses cardiovascular risk in menopausal women.
