Summary

This study aims to understand why postmenopausal women have a higher risk of diastolic heart failure, a condition where the heart stiffens and doesn't fill properly. Researchers will analyze heart tissue from 500 patients undergoing cardiac surgery to examine specific proteins and signals related to energy use and blood vessel growth. The goal is to uncover the biological reasons behind this increased risk, which could lead to better prevention or treatment in the future.
