Hypertension formation peculiarities in postmanopause

This work is devoted to the key features of the formation of hypertension in postmenopausal women. The proven fact is that premenopausal women are significantly less likely to have cardiovascular disease compared to men of the same age group. There are cardinal differences in the formation and course of diseases of the cardiovascular system in men and women, due to the presence of individual gender differences and cardioprotection from ovarian hormones in the reproductive period. The fact of an increase in the frequency of arterial hypertension, in women in the postmenopausal period, was established reliably. In the formation of arterial hypertension in this contingent of patients hypoestrogenic plays a decisive role, affecting the components of the metabolic syndrome and endothelial dysfunction. During the analysis of literature sources, the positive effect of hormone replacement therapy on key indicators of the functional state of the cardiovascular system in patients with menopausal syndrome in combination with initial circulatory disturbances was noted.
