Women’s Wellness: Hormones, Menopause, and Heart Health

Original Description

What’s the most up-to-date story on women’s hormones and heart health? Does hormone therapy during menopause help or harm your heart? With the FDA’s recent removal of the black box warning on many hormone replacement therapies (HRT), it’s normal to have questions about their safety and impact.

Join NYU Langone endocrinologist Priya Jaisinghani, MD, as she clears up confusion surrounding menopausal hormone therapy, explores its effects on the cardiovascular system, and discusses the benefit–risk balance of starting treatment. NYU Langone cardiologist and webinar moderator Dennis A. Goodman, MD, will lead the live audience Q&A. Invite a friend and be inspired to be a hero for women’s heart health.
