Abstract

Menopause, as a consequence of ovarian follicular decline, induces estrogen deficiency and metabolic changes that increase the cardiovascular risk in women. In particular, there is an increase in blood pressure during menopause. Menopausal hormonal therapy can be prescribed to women with symptoms of menopause to improve their quality of life. This article reviews the current literature on the pathophysiological mechanisms that explain blood pressure changes at menopause and describes the impact of menopausal hormone therapy on blood pressure.
