Nonetheless, the latest study offers a backward sort of good news, suggesting that intense menopausal symptoms may be a kind of early warning system, since women who suffer the most also tend to harbor more risk factors for heart disease, from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes to excess weight. "If you have moderate to severe hot flashes, then that should be a signal to check your risk factors for heart disease," says Rossouw...
