Abstract
Menopause is an important stage in a woman’s life, accompanied by numerous physiological and hormonal changes. One of the most significant changes
is the decrease in estrogen levels, which in turn affects many functions of the body, including the cardiovascular system. One factor that is of great importance for the development of hypertension during menopause is cortisol, a stress hormone that can have a significant impact on blood pressure.
