Highlights the critical gap in research regarding the impact of sex hormones and the menopausal transition on women's cardiovascular health and disease management.
The impact of the presence or absence of sex hormones on women's health is woefully under-researched. Fundamentally it is now understood that as women's bodies spend considerable time under widely fluctuating hormonal influence, including puberty, pregnancy, peripartum, and menopause, that a woman's vessels are preset for functional and physiological alterations based on levels of sex hormones. However, our understanding of the influences of sex hormones on the regulation of a multitude of biological and physiological processes has not translated into the development/collection or analyses of data on therapeutic treatments and/or outcomes in the context of women's disease management.
