Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body and are sometimes prescribed to help manage symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Their impact on cardiovascular health remains an area of ongoing research, with some studies suggesting potential benefits when carefully monitored, while others highlight possible risks such as changes in lipid metabolism or vascular function. Because cardiovascular outcomes can be influenced by many external factors, toxicity evaluations related to occupational and environmental exposures play an important role in patient assessment. A thorough history of workplace conditions, environmental toxins, and lifestyle factors is essential to identify risks that may compound or interact with hormone therapy, ensuring that treatment decisions are made with a full understanding of the individual’s overall cardiovascular risk profile.
