Risk and possibilities of preventing cardiovascular diseases in women in peri- and postmenopause

Cardiovascular morbidity remains the leading cause of death in the world, in both men and women. But the programs for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which significantly reduced the incidence of cardiovascular complications among men, proved to be ineffective among the female population. Differences in CVD risk factors in different sexes, different responses of the female and male organism to the same treatment effects induce, on the one hand, the development of gender-oriented cardiological practices and, on the other hand, determine the need to include gynecologists in the development and implementation of cardiovascular reduction measures vascular morbidity and mortality.
