Premenstrual Symptoms Linked to Higher Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

SWEDEN, JUL 11 – Women with premenstrual symptoms face about a 10% higher risk of cardiovascular disease, especially heart rhythm disorders and stroke, according to Karolinska Institutet researchers.

  • Karolinska Institutet published a study on July 11, 2025, linking premenstrual symptoms in women to cardiovascular disease risk.
  • The study followed over 99,000 women with premenstrual symptoms for up to 22 years to investigate their long-term heart health.
  • The study revealed that individuals experiencing premenstrual symptoms faced approximately a 10% greater likelihood of cardiovascular disease, with risks notably elevated by 31% for arrhythmias and 27% for stroke.
  • Yihui Yang noted that the elevated risk was most evident among women diagnosed before turning 25 and those who had a history of postnatal depression, which is linked to hormonal changes.
  • This study may improve early identification and awareness of cardiovascular risk in younger women with premenstrual disorders according to experts like Donghao Lu and Nieka Goldberg.
