Longitudinal Study in Perimenopausal Women With Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis

NCT00921011 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 177

Last updated 2018-04-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study hypothesis (or theory) is that monthly loss of iron before menopause may reduce women's risk of hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis.

This study uses noninvasive, noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of arteries in women entering menopause. This will help to determine if there is a correlation between iron accumulation and hardening of the arteries. In addition, blood levels of hormones will be measured to help show differences due to hormone levels vs. iron accumulation.
