Premenstrual disorders may indicate a higher risk for heart disease, study finds
SWEDEN, JUL 11 – Women with premenstrual disorders have an 11% higher risk of cardiovascular disease, especially arrhythmias and stroke, according to a Karolinska Institutet study of over 3 million women.
- Women diagnosed with premenstrual symptoms have a slightly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life.
- The study included more than 99,000 women with premenstrual symptoms who were followed for up to 22 years.
- The results show that women with premenstrual symptoms had about a ten per cent higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, with a particularly strong link to heart rhythm disorders and stroke caused by a blood clot.
