Henry Ford Health doctor urges women to address heart health during menopause

Many women are concerned about menopause-related symptoms like hot flashes and weight gain but are less aware of its impact on heart health. According to Dr. Brittany Fuller of Henry Ford Health, the risk of heart disease increases after menopause due to hormonal changes, inflammation, and rising cholesterol and blood pressure. Fuller emphasizes the importance of women being proactive in managing their heart health by consulting their doctors, getting regular checkups, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise.
