# Does adding sex hormones help heart problems related to premenstrual syndrome?

Adding sex hormones to treatment improved outcomes in women with heart problems related to premenstrual syndrome. More women had stable improvement and normal heart tracings when hormones were included in their treatment plan.

 Early or limited evidence

60 women with heart symptoms related to premenstrual or menopause syndrome

## What they did

60 women with heart symptoms related to premenstrual or menopause syndrome were examined. Doctors performed heart tests including electrocardiograms and tested their response to nitroglycerin, potassium chloride, and obsidan. Treatment was given with or without sex hormones added.

## What they found

The number of women who had stable clinical improvement and complete normalization of their electrocardiograms increased considerably when sex hormones were included in the treatment plan, compared to treatment without sex hormones. Results also depended on the woman's age and how long she had had the condition.

## What it means for you

Adding sex hormones to treatment may help women whose premenstrual or menopause syndrome includes heart symptoms. However, the study does not specify which sex hormones were used, the exact doses, or the specific improvement rates. More details are needed to understand how helpful this treatment is.
