Overlap Between Heart Failure and Menopause: Diagnostic Challenges and Clinical Implications.
Overlapping symptoms between menopause and heart failure complicate diagnosis; improved recognition strategies enhance treatment for affected women.
Heart failure and menopause commonly coexist in middle-aged women, but overlapping symptomatology often complicates accurate diagnosis and leads to under-treatment. This review synthesises current evidence on the intersection between menopause and heart failure, elucidates shared pathophysiological mechanisms, and proposes strategies to enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic decision-making for this underdiagnosed population.
