Menopause symptom management in women with dyslipidemias: an EMAS clinical guide

Worldwide, dyslipidemias are one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease, mainly coronary heart disease [1]. Dyslipidemias are also associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke [2]. Dyslipidemias embrace a wide constellation of lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities. Lipoproteins bind lipids and are involved in their transport. Lipid abnormalities include high serum concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) and/or triglycerides and/or low concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C).
