I was deeply honoured to be invited to be a keynote speaker at this year's @RCPhysicians annual conference.
But after last night's #RCPEGM I can no longer, in all conscience, give my speech. I feel duty bound to share in public my reasons why.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes around one death every eight minutes in women in the UK. Differences exist between women and men in presentation, outcomes and pathophysiological mechanisms making CVD a more severe disease for women than men.
Women who start HRT within 10 years of their menopause have been shown in studies to have a significantly lower all-cause mortality and also lower incidence of coronary heart disease. Women starting body identical hormones at an older age are still likely to gain benefit but the large studies have not been done.
Many people do not realise that, unlike for men, treatment for women with statins or ACE inhibitors for primary prevention of CVD do not statistically significantly reduce all-cause mortality or coronary heart disease incidence.
HRT is much more a superior treatment for prevention of CVD plus it improves symptoms, improves quality of life and also will reduce future risk of osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, bowel cancer and clinical depression.

...but who decides what "can't be changed"? We are looking at an exceptional individual here, but for the rest of us, it's a big ask to carry on regardless and have a career below the radar, hoping someone would eventually notice that we are good citizens #womeninSTEM@WomenAs1
If you are a #woman and have #heartdisease, you are more likely to die than if you are a man. We can no longer wait for someone else to handle it for us. We have to do it and we have to do it now - says @DrMarthaGulati, lecturer @CVPrevInterv. Must read! https://t.co/7emXif6X90
The leading cause of death among women in the EU is cardiovascular disease.
We need to take action — and pave the way to cardiovascular health for all, through an EU Cardiovascular Health Plan.
