Culture\u00a0shapes beliefs, habits, attitudes, behaviors and perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>In Hispanic communities, women are typically central to the family unit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHispanic women often face many social pressures as the heart of their families, and the expectation to maintain \u2018familismo\u2019 \u2014 family-centered values \u2014 can add to their stress,\u201d Quintana said. \u201cThis stress, along with conditions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/diseases-conditions\/lupus\/\">lupus<\/a> and symptoms of depression, has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease and <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/professional\/quality-improvement\/ascvd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.\u2019\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>People who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease are dealing with the dangerous buildup of plaque in their arteries, which can cause heart attacks.

They are used to caring for other people. They need to have more empathy for themselves and take just as good care of themselves as they would for their parents, spouses and children.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying and managing cardiovascular risks as early as possible is crucial for the health and survival of Hispanic women.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018Hispanic women often face a higher burden of risk factors than non-Hispanic White women, and conditions like premature menopause can increase risks,\u201d Quintana said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does menopause increase the risk of heart disease?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles. These changes in a woman\u2019s body disrupt the heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018Menopause is associated with worsening blood pressure, lipid profiles, insulin resistance, and central adiposity. Hispanic women are more prone to experiencing earlier menopause compared to non-Hispanic women.\u2019\u2019 Quintana said. \u2018\u2018Women should be aware that menopause is a critical window for intensified screening and prevention for cardiovascular disease.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He said that researchers are beginning to learn more about connections between menopause and cardiac disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018Premature menopause is recognized as an emerging predictor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease,\u2019\u2019 Quintana said.<\/p>\n<p>Atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease occurs when fats, cholesterol and other substances accumulate in and along the walls of the arteries.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How do most heart attacks occur?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most heart attacks occur when a blood clot obstructs a coronary artery.<\/p>\n<p>Medical experts at the <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/professional.heart.org\/-\/media\/phd-files-2\/science-news\/2\/2025-heart-and-stroke-stat-update\/factsheets\/2025-stats-update-fact-sheet-hispanic-latino-and-cvd.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Heart Association<\/a> reported that 30,676 Hispanic women died from <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/minorityhealth.hhs.gov\/heart-disease-and-hispaniclatino-americans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cardiovascular disease<\/a> in the U.S in 2022, according to the most recent data available.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-callout-box col-xs-12 col-sm-6 right\" style=\"background-color:#dce4e7; color:#2e3b44;\">\n<h4><strong>Regular heart health screenings are vital.
