Cardiovascular Protection

Meaning

Cardiovascular Protection refers to the intrinsic physiological mechanisms and therapeutic interventions that defend the heart and vascular system against structural damage and functional decline, particularly from atherosclerotic disease and hypertension. In the hormonal domain, this protection is largely mediated by sex steroids and their downstream signaling cascades, which promote endothelial health and favorable lipid profiles. Maintaining robust cardiovascular function is a cornerstone of longevity and metabolic wellness, requiring a balanced endocrine environment to mitigate systemic risk factors.
