Abstract
- This review identifies coronary heart disease (CHD) as the leading cause of mortality among postmenopausal women and highlights the well-documented problem of underrecognition and undertreatment of women who are at risk for or who already have CHD. This undertreatment encompasses both preventive care (i.e., drug treatment for lipid management) and more invasive treatments (e.g., revascularization procedures). Preventive interventions to reduce dyslipidemia and control other coronary risk factors can lessen CHD mortality and morbidity in the postmenopausal woman.
