Abstract
The cardiovascular protection provided to women during the reproductive age and the unique angiogenic properties of the female reproductive system provide insights into the complex regulatory network of female sex hormones, angiogenic growth factors, and stem cell regulatory molecules. The intricate and interwoven endometrial physiology of the female menstrual cycle shows that in order to harness the physiologic cardioprotection provided by nature to women of reproductive age, for better cardiovascular therapies in postmenopausal women and the population in general, a coherent and systematic approach is needed.
