Heart health study for women in menopause transition
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how menopause and related factors affect heart health in women. It aims to find ways to keep hearts healthy as women go through this transition, and may help guide early actions to reduce heart risk.
