Menopause：女性妊娠期高血压病或与绝经期症状相关

　　荷兰一项研究表明，妊娠期间伴高血压病的女性更有可能在绝经期间出现热潮红和盗汗。论文5月20日在线发表于《绝经》（Menopause）杂志。

　　此项研究共纳入853例心内科门诊就诊患者，并评估了先兆子痫等妊娠期高血压病与血管舒缩症状（热潮红和盗汗）的相关性。结果显示，274例女性伴有妊娠期间高血压病史。与妊娠期间无高血压病史的女性相比，伴高血压病史者的热潮红和盗汗发病率显著升高（82%对75%）。此外，伴高血压者的热潮红和盗汗更为严重，并且持续时间较长。

　　由于此项研究中约半数女性伴有心脏症状，因此尚不清楚是否可将此相关性应用于所有中年女性，但结果提示妊娠期间高血压病为心血管疾病和绝经后血管舒缩症状的危险因素。

High BP in pregnancy may spell hot flashes later
Women who have hypertensive diseases during pregnancy seem to be at higher risk of having troublesome hot flashes and night sweats at menopause, report researchers from the Netherlands in an article published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society. This is the first study to look at this association.
The investigators examined the relationship between hypertensive diseases in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, and vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes and night sweats) among 853 women who visited a cardiology clinic in Kampen, the Netherlands. Of these, 274 women had a history of hypertensive diseases during pregnancy. More of them (82%) had hot flashes and night sweats than women who never had these diseases during pregnancy (75%)—a modest but significant difference. Moreover, women who had hypertensive diseases during pregnancy also tended to have more severe and longer lasting hot flashes and night sweats.
