Takeaways
Dr. Jayne Morgan transitioned from cardiology to menopause education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Heart disease is the number one killer of women, and the risk increases during perimenopause and menopause.
The symptoms of heart disease in women can be different from those in men, and it is important to recognize and address them.
Cholesterol, statins, and testosterone play a role in heart health, and further research is needed to understand their impact on women.
There is a need for more research, clinical trials, and education on menopause and its connection to heart health. Vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, are correlated with cardiovascular disease, particularly in minority populations.
There is a lack of representation of black women in cardiology and the medical field in general.
Mistrust of the medical system poses a challenge in addressing menopause symptoms in black women.
Diversity in clinical trials is crucial to ensure that drugs and treatments are relevant to all populations.
More research is needed on the intersection of menopause and cardiovascular health.
