Higher Ratios Of Testosterone To Estradiol Levels Linked To Higher Risk For CV Events In Postmenopausal Women

reports that researchers found that “a higher ratio of testosterone to estradiol was associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and heart failure in postmenopausal women.” Meanwhile, “total testosterone levels were associated with increased cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease, while estradiol is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.” https://www.medpagetoday.com/endocrinology/menopause/73152
