Heart Disease Risk In Women Starts Early

Hindustan Times · health

Cardiovascular changes linked to future heart disease in women may begin nearly two decades before menopause, a new study suggests. Pulse pressure, a marker of blood vessel health, starts rising in women in their late 30s, about a decade earlier than in men. This challenges the belief that menopause is the primary trigger. The findings highlight the importance of monitoring women's cardiovascular health well before midlife to identify future risks earlier.
