Serum Estradiol and Cardiovascular Health Among Transgender and Nonbinary Adults Using Gender Affirming Estrogen Therapy


Listen Later

Hormone modulation therapy is a growing area of research in cardiovascular science related to a number of factors, such as menopause and andropause, cancers in hormone-producing organs, as well as gender-affirming hormone therapy. So how do scientists and clinicians measure, monitor, and balance applications of hormone therapy? In our latest podcast, Associate Dr. Keith Brunt interviews authors Dr. Chantal Rytz (University of Calgary) and Dr. Sofia Ahmed (University of Alberta), along with expert Dr. Nina Stachenfeld (John B. Pierce Laboratory/Yale School of Medicine) about the recent article by Rytz et al. The authors review the use of estrogen in adult transgender, non-binary and gender diverse individuals who are medically managed with hormone modulation therapy for gender affirmation. Their findings indicate that the rate at which serum estrogen concentrations change may be important in order to optimize cardiovascular health and manage risk factors for obesity, hyperlipidemia, and elevated blood pressure. How should scientists account for and explore the hormone state of individuals within a cardiovascular context to improve the foundation of evidence for hormone modulation therapies for clinicians? Listen and learn more.
