Did you know that being older when you finish menopause is linked to a lower risk for cardiovascular disease? According to a study from scientists @CUBoulder and published in the @AHA Circulation Research journal, part of the reason for this phenomenon is better markers of artery function in those with later-onset menopause (age 55 or older) as compared to females with normal timing of menopause (age 45-54 years).

Fueling research to prevent, treat and cure cardiovascular disease and diabetes in women.
关于我们
At the Ludeman Family Center for Women’s Health Research we perform cutting-edge research, mentor and fund the next generation of MD and PhD researchers, and educate the public and health care providers. In 2004, we became a center at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus because women’s health and sex differences have been significantly understudied. Greater knowledge about women’s health needs to be obtained so that both women and men are treated optimally. Because of the research gap, optimal preventions, treatments and cures for disease are lacking. We aim to accelerate a broadened research agenda in women’s health and sex differences, particularly in cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are leading causes of disability and death in women. These diseases are also often tied to struggles with depression and anxiety. We have seven senior scientists and over 60 affiliated junior MD and PhD, male and female scientists who study women’s health and sex differences across the lifespan from pregnancy and fetal programming, to children, adults, and the elderly. Our scientists include those who are experts in all types of science from the most basic to clinical/translational to epidemiologic to precision medicine. We have awarded over $1M through our peer review processes, while our young scientists have received over $60M in external funding. We have raised over $13M from private philanthropy and have a very involved Community Advisory Board. Our Scientific Council consists of prominent, internationally known scientists who are experts in the field of women’s health and sex difference research. We provide over 20 evidence-based educational programs each year to medical professionals, the scientific community and the public. We are working hard to speed progress and transform the future of women’s health. There is incredible opportunity before us – invaluable knowledge to be gained that will benefit everyone.

Medications with lifestyle changes can help manage type 2 diabetes and lower risk for heart disease and stroke. Your doctor or other healthcare professional may prescribe one medication or a combination of two or more. Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor about the medications you are on and be sure to share openly how they work for you. #KnowDiabetesbyHeart

At the Ludeman Center, our researchers are at the heart of what we do in #womenshealthresearch. We also recognize that their talents and dedication to science are just as important as their ability to receive grant funding and manage their projects. Anne Libby, PhD, a Ludeman Center researcher, professor, and vice chair for Academic Affairs in the Department of Emergency Medicine @CUAnschutz, launched the Researcher Management and Leadership Training and a Grant Writing for Health Researchers Specialization, which already has more than 1600 enrollees. These essential tools are helping to teach researchers the skills to successfully complete their funded projects. Read more here. #healthywomenhealthyworld https://lnkd.in/d6n6JwdA

During #AmericanHeartMonth, we recognize Ludeman Center researcher Brian Stauffer, MD, whose decades of studying sex differences related to heart conditions include being a dedicated cardiologist, medical director, and co-founder of the Pediatric Cardiovascular Research Laboratory at @CUAnschutz. Dr. Stauffer received funding from the Ludeman Center to pursue his research focused on sex-differences in blood vessel health that may be responsible for differences in the development of heart attacks and strokes between men and women. Learn more about his transformational impact in #womenshealthresearch here. https://lnkd.in/gJygFD7m

Surprising news in heart health this week reveals that dental flossing may lower the risk of stroke from blood clots and irregular heartbeats. According to the American Heart Association, flossing your teeth at least once a week may be linked to a lower risk of stroke caused by a blood clot blocking brain blood flow and irregular heartbeats, revealing that participants showed a 22% lower risk of ischemic stroke, 44% lower risk of cardioembolic stroke (blood clots traveling from the heart) and 12% lower risk of AFib.

Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States? In addition, more women are killed by heart disease than men. This week, we recognize #CardiacRehabWeek to draw attention to the role of cardiac rehabilitation and its ability to reduce the harmful effects of heart disease. Learn more about how these programs aim to reduce the risk of associated mortality and improve cardiovascular function to help patients optimize their quality of life. #healthywomenhealthyworld https://lnkd.in/g5eF7xvz.
