CMHC Faculty in the News
Dr. Erin Michos, director of women’s cardiovascular health at Johns Hopkins Medicine and co-chair of CMHC's Women's Cardiometabolic Health and Wellness Masterclass was featured in the Time article, How Menopause Affects Cholesterol—And How to Manage It. High cholesterol is a leading risk factor for heart disease, which kills more women in the U.S. than any other cause, including all forms of cancer combined. The longer someone lives with high cholesterol, the greater the odds that it will build up in their arteries and cause a heart attack or stroke.
