Key result
Hypertension independently predicted a high 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in post-menopausal women (P=0.0007, 95% CI 5.2369-476.8816).
Why the study?
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and significant contributors predicting the 10-year risk for CVD among post-menopausal women using the FRS-CVD score.
Population
50 post-menopausal women (5080 years) lacking typical angina pectoris symptoms
Comparison
High risk (≥20%) vs low/intermediate risk (≤19.9%) for CVD by FRS
Design
Cross-sectional study

May support routine BP monitoring to flag high FRS-CVD risk in postmenopausal women; leaves open whether risk-guided interventions reduce events.
Cross-Sectional (n=50)
p-value: p=0.0007
Age and hypertension are significant independent contributors to a high 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in post-menopausal women based on the Framingham Risk Score.
Paul et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease risk (n=50). Hypertension vs. No hypertension was evaluated on 10-year CVD high risk (95% CI 5.2369-476.8816, p=0.0007). Hypertension independently predicted a high 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in post-menopausal women (P=0.0007, 95% CI 5.2369-476.8816).
