Menopausal Hot Flushes And Sweats Predict Cardiovascular Trouble

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/KQ4YOMdO--Y   Women with these vasomotor symptoms or VMS are 70% more likely to suffer heart attacks or strokes over time.  Epidemiologists at Australia’s University of Queenland just published this warning after their meta-analysis of 23,365 women.   The risk of adverse cardiovascular consequences rises with severity of hot flushes and night sweats but not with how often they occur.  Women with severe vasomotor symptoms are more than twice as likely to have a cardiovascular issue compared with those without such symptoms.  Even pre-menopausal flushes and sweats raise the risk 40%.   If you are a woman experiencing these vasomotor phenomena, speak with your doctors to establish comprehensive cardiovascular monitoring.   https://www.ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(20)30664-5/pdf   #menopause #flush #sweats #heartattack #stroke
