The vasomotor menopausal symptoms of hot flashes that typically last for a few minutes is described as declining estrogen levels associated with menopause that characterized by a sensation of warmth of the face and upper body, flushing of the skin, sweating, rapid heart rate, irritability, and headache.
An observational study led by Dr Emily Szmuilowicz from Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, said that those women experienced with menopausal vasomotor symptoms of hot flashes at early menopause linked to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, but when the symptoms occur after menopause, it may linked to increase the risk of heart disease.
This suggestion appeared after the investigators analyzed in 60,027 women for the relationship between vasomotor symptoms at menopause and the risk of incidence cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
Overall, whether there is common marker for both hot flashes and heart disease or a causal relationship, the data showed that in early menopausal vasomotor symptoms the hazard ratio for cardiovascular events and death lower than those with no symptoms, although the authors not sure for the mechanism,
However, for late vasomotor symptoms, the hazard ration was higher than no symptoms, despite the study involved small groups.
The authors concluded that for late vasomotor symptoms, more large subjects in further study needed to confirm this relationship.
In addition the authors noted that these relationship might not associated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use, as both use of HRT or not, the results seem similar.
