Conclusions: Previous amenorrhea in young women does not result in long-term cardiovascular consequences in arterial and endothelial function measures assuming regular menstruation resumes. Physical activity shows a blood pressure–lowering effect in the peripheral arteries, while the previously amenorrheic group demonstrated lower central pressures, independent of physical activity.
