Cardiovascular Complications

Meaning

A range of adverse health conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. In the context of hormonal health, these complications are often sequelae of chronic endocrine imbalances, such as poorly managed diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, or prolonged exposure to non-physiological hormone levels. Clinically, managing these risks is paramount when initiating or adjusting hormonal interventions, especially in at-risk patients. Understanding the link between hormones and vascular function is crucial for preventive care.
