Link To And Resources From “#153 Heart Disease in Women” – A Great Ischemic Heart Disease Minicourse From The Curbsiders With Additional Resources

This post consists of a link to the outstanding lecture #153 Heart Disease in Women with Dr Bairey Merz. JUNE 3, 2019 By DR MOLLY HEUBLEIN from The Curbsiders with additional resources.

In addition, in this post, I’ve listed many of the resources cited in the course and made blog posts excerpting from those resources. The relevant links follow the resource cited below.

The minicourse on ischemic heart disease, to me consists of:

  • Listening to the podcast
  • Reviewing the show notes
  • Reading all of the articles referenced in the show notes. [I have included links to all the excellent articles referenced in the show notes.]

The figure below is from Resource (3) below, How to Diagnose and Manage Angina Without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: Lessons from the British Heart Foundation CorMicA Trial. Interv Cardiol. 2019 May; 14(2): 76–82.

Resource (3) the source of the figure below is from interventional cardiologists who, not surprisingly, recommend that the diagnoses below be made with invasive catheter based measurements. I will be seeing later what the response of non-catheterizing cardiologists are. But regardless of the authors motivation, it is a great chart that well summarizes the topic.

All the references below excerpt for (2) and (3)  are from Episode #153’s outstanding show notes. To get maximum benefit from this episode, each listener should carefully read all of the articles below:

5. Endogenous Sex Hormones and Incident Cardiovascular Disease in Post-Menopausal Women [PubMed Abstract] [Full Text HTML] [Full Text PDF]. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2018 Jun 5;71(22):2555-2566. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2018.01.083.

The above article has been cited by 8 PubMed Central Articles.

CONCLUSIONS

Among post-menopausal women, a higher testosterone/estradiol ratio was associated with an elevated risk for incident CVD, CHD, and HF events, higher levels of testosterone associated with increased CVD and CHD, whereas higher estradiol levels were associated with a lower CHD risk. Sex hormone levels after menopause are associated with women’s increased CVD risk later in life.

DISCUSSION

Although sex hormone levels may be linked to future CVD events, it is unclear what the best intervention is to modify sex hormone levels for risk reduction.
