Presented by Dr Doreen Saltiel, this 60-minute webinar (inc. Q&A) focuses on women and women’s vascular health in particular.
Dr Saltiel unpacks key vascular physiology to reveal new strategies and approaches. From the importance of nitric oxide to the protective layer blanketing the endothelium, she details how to support the vascular system.
Dr Saltiel shares key strategies to support nitric oxide levels, healthy circulation and the health of the blood vessels themselves. What happens when oestradiol levels fall? How can clinicians support women’s cardiometabolic health during this transition? From early perimenopause on, women’s vascular risk rises. Understanding these physiological changes can help inform evidence-based clinical practice.
Learning objectives:
- Define endothelial dysfunction, glycocalyx degradation and explain their role in CVD development
- Understand sex hormones’ impact (oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone) on endothelial function, vascular and sexual health
- Discuss the relationship between sexual dysfunction and underlying cardiovascular health, highlighting the vascular mechanisms involved
