Early menopause heart risk under microscope: hormone Therapy's role questioned
NCT ID NCT04167033
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how early menopause (premature ovarian insufficiency) affects the heart's electrical signals, which can raise the risk of dangerous heart rhythms. Researchers will compare 120 women with and without this condition, and also check how hormone replacement therapy changes these signals. The goal is to understand if these women need special heart monitoring.
