Addressing modifiable lifestyle risk factors considerably reduces cardiovascular mortality risk and improves life expectancy in postmenopausal women with prior cardiovascular events.
Do lifestyle interventions reduce cardiovascular mortality in postmenopausal women with a previous cardiovascular event?
Lifestyle interventions and history-taking alone can significantly predict and reduce 10-year cardiovascular mortality risk in postmenopausal women with prior CVD.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Findings underscore the significance of lifestyle interventions in secondary prevention among postmenopausal women with CVD. By addressing modifiable risk factors, considerable reductions in CVD mortality risk and improvements in life expectancy can be achieved. The creation of a specific risk scale for 10-year cardiovascular death in this population shows the considerable value of information that can be obtained through history-taking, without the need for diagnostic testing.
