Research progress on the correlation between vasomotor symptoms of menopause and cardiovascular disease / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Vasomotor symptoms(VMS)are among the typical manifestations in perimenopausal and menopausal women, with a high incidence and prolonged duration, and have long been afflicting many menopausal women.Cardiovascular disease has become one of the main causes of death in postmenopausal women.Previous studies suggest that postmenopausal VMS are related to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women, but the view is controversial.There have been many studies on the association of VMS in menopausal women with the risk of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular disease risk factors and subclinical indicators, and the results suggest that menopausal VMS may predict the occurrence of cardiovascular disease after menopause.
