Interplay of menopause, coronary artery calcium score and cardiovascular disease risk
We introduce a novel framework combining CACS with metabolic and hormonal markers, and discuss estrogen-driven mechanisms and HRT considerations in postmenopausal cardiovascular risk. This review underscores the need for targeted cardiovascular risk assessment in postmenopausal women, integrating CACS with other metabolic markers to improve early detection and prevention of CVD in this high-risk population.
