A role of menopause as a cardiovascular risk factor is reviewed. Menopause influence on the cardiovascular system may be mediated by body fat re-allocation, metabolic, hemodynamic and pro-inflammatory changes. Besides, estrogen deprivation has a direct effect on the arterial wall. Lifestyle modification, lipid-lowering and antihypertensive treatment should be considered for cardiovascular risk reduction in postmenopausal women.

Влияние менопаузы на сердечно-сосудистую систему может быть опосредовано перераспределением жировой ткани, метаболическими, гемодинамическими и провоспалительными изменениями, а также прямыми эффектами дефицита эстрогенов на артериальную стенку. Коррекция факторов риска у женщин в постменопаузе должна проводиться с помощью изменения образа жизни, липидснижающей и антигипертензивной терапии.
