Description
Virginia R Nuckols and others ask whether menopause vessel health is all about estrogen in a 2026 review. Heart risk climbs fast across menopause, long blamed on falling estradiol, yet progesterone also falls while two brain glands' hormones rise.
The review weighs clinic and lab proof on estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, and testosterone effects on vessel linings, through vessel-tightening signals, oxygen stress, and defense flare. It reframes menopause as a multi-hormone vessel shift, not a one-hormone tale. Doctors gain a wider base for weighing heart risk in midlife women and for judging hormone care.
