The understanding of the physiology of hot flashes is incomplete. The autonomic nervous system has been hypothesized to play a role in hot flashes but has received limited empirical attention. Further, emerging research has linked hot flashes to cardiovascular risk. Reduced high frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV), an index of vagal control of heart rate, has been associated with cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that decreases in HF-HRV would occur during hot flashes relative to periods preceding and following the hot flash. Thirty peri- and postmenopausal women ages 40–60 reporting ≥4 hot flashes/day underwent laboratory hot flash provocation testing, with measurement of sternal skin conductance and electrocardiogram. Hot flashes were reported and identified from sternal skin conductance. HF-HRV was estimated using spectral analysis of the heart rate time series. The five minute interval during the hot flash was compared to two non-flash periods prior and following the hot flash via mixed effects models. HRV was significantly decreased during hot flashes relative to periods prior to (b=0.18, SE=0.05 p=0.0001) and after (b=0.16, SE=0.05, p=0.002) physiologically-measured hot flashes, controlling for age, race, education, task condition, menopausal status, task, hypertension status, diabetes status, physical activity, body mass index, smoking, and anxiety. Findings were unchanged considering self-reported hot flashes. Significant decreases in cardiac vagal control occurred during hot flashes, which may help shed light on the physiology of hot flashes. The autonomic nervous system may deserve greater attention in understanding the mechanisms linking hot flashes to cardiovascular risk.
