Do I have a lowered risk of heart disease if I underwent surgical menopause?

Beatbreastcancer asked...

I recently read the article about the lowered risk of heart disease experienced in women with early symptoms of menopause; hot flashes, night sweats, etc. I had my ovaries removed at 46 to help with my fight against hormone-receptive breast cancer, and immediately began experiencing these symptoms. I'd like to know if the heart benefits would apply to me with my "surgical menopause". Thanks!
