Menopause isn’t just about symptoms — it’s a whole-body transition, and the heart is central to the story. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men, yet most research has historically focused on men, leaving gaps, confusion and misinformation about how menopause affects the heart.

Join our expert panel as we cut through the noise, unpack the science, and explore what menopause truly means and why everyone, regardless of age, sex, or background needs to understand this transition. Because heart health isn’t isolated from the rest of our lives — it shapes families, communities, and generations.

Featuring:

• Joan L. Blomquist, MD, Chair of the Department of Gynecology at GBMC HealthCare
