connection between menses and rhythm

I wonder if there are any studies that explore the connection between female hormones and rapid heart beats? I'm 52 and have been menopausal for a couple years. Between the ages of 12 (when I began menstruating) and 50, I had periodic rapid heart beats and realized when my menses tapered off during perimenopause that the rapid heart beats only happened during the first days of my period. I haven't suffered from them since I stopped having periods.
Though I saw  my GP and heart specialists about the arrhythmia no connection was ever suggested. Now my niece has the same problem.

Yes, this has been extremely well documented.  try googling on  a term I copied right from your post "female hormones and rapid heart beats", the first article from the Cleveland clinic will have much good info including citations.

Hunya,

I tend to suffer with supraventricular tachycardia more around the time of menses. I firmly believe there is a connection, yes.
