The Cardiac Timing Hypothesis Explained
Why starting HRT within 10 years of menopause matters.
Why starting HRT within 10 years of menopause matters. Kindr Health integrates cardiovascular risk into menopause care from day one.
Testing we recommend
Standard lipid panel, ApoB, Lp(a) once, hsCRP, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, and CAC score in appropriate candidates.
Integrated approach
HRT decisions include cardiac timing, individual risk profile, and coordination with primary care and cardiology when indicated.
Frequently asked questions
Should I get a CAC score?
Consider it in early menopause with intermediate risk — it can change the HRT calculus.
Is HRT cardioprotective?
Depends on timing, route, and individual risk. Not a general prevention tool.
Considering a physician-supervised longevity protocol? Kindr Health evaluates peptide therapy as part of personalized perimenopause and menopause care.
