What this trial studies

This study examines the relationship between hot flashes and neurovascular function in women, particularly focusing on how these symptoms may increase the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. It involves the use of various sympathoexcitatory stressors and medications to assess neurovascular control mechanisms. By understanding these connections, the research aims to provide insights into the cardiovascular risks associated with menopause. The study is conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
