Key result
Menstrual cycle sex hormone changes do not affect hemodynamics or water accumulation in healthy women.
Why the study?
It is uncertain whether physiological variations in sex hormones during the regular menstrual cycle affect cardiovascular function and the cardiovascular system in women.
Do physiological variations in sex hormones during the menstrual cycle affect cardiovascular hemodynamics and water content in healthy women?
Observational (n=45)
Do physiological variations in sex hormones during the menstrual cycle affect cardiovascular hemodynamics and water content in healthy women?
Physiological changes in sex hormones during the regular menstrual cycle do not have a clinically significant effect on hemodynamic function or water accumulation in healthy women.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No need to adjust hemodynamics for menstrual phase in healthy women; leaves open effects in cardiovascular disease.
Kwissa et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Healthy women of reproductive age (n=45). Menstrual cycle phases (early follicular, late follicular, mid-luteal) vs. Comparisons between phases was evaluated on Hemodynamic profile and body's water content. Physiological changes in sex hormones during the regular menstrual cycle have no considerable effect on hemodynamic function and water accumulation in healthy women.
