Key result
Lifestyle modifications are linked to considerably lower CV mortality in postmenopausal women with prior CV events.
Why the study?
Do lifestyle interventions reduce cardiovascular mortality in postmenopausal women with a previous cardiovascular event?
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.
May warrant intensified lifestyle interventions for postmenopausal women with prior CVD; extends evidence to secondary prevention in this population.
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.
