Professor and heart specialist Eva Ringdal Pedersen gives a lecture on Cholesterol in women – an underestimated risk factor. High cholesterol is one of the most important causes of cardiovascular disease. In women, the cholesterol content in the blood rises after menopause. The importance of this is often underestimated in women.
You will hear about how cholesterol affects women's heart health throughout life, how hormones and age play a role, and what research shows about preventing heart disease in women through treatment of high cholesterol.
The seminar is organized by the Center for Research on Heart Disease in Women and is open to all interested parties!
