WOMEN NEEDED FOR THE MENOPAUSE RACING HEART STUDY
J

Primary Investigator
Overview
DID YOU KNOW?... Palpitations (a feeling of skipped, missed, irregular or exaggerated heartbeats) occur in up to 40-54% of women as they enter menopause. However, it is unknown if palpitations experienced by peri- and post-menopausal women are caused by arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) as detected on an electrocardiogram (ECG).
That is why researchers at Indiana University School of Nursing and Purdue University College of Pharmacy are conducting a study to find out whether palpitations experienced by peri- and post-menopausal women may be caused by arrhythmias.
Your participation will help researchers to better understand women’s palpitations experiences as they transition through menopause.
