Question V.M.C.A.

OK people, a query: What happens to VMCA (IAS) with an increase in altitude or temperature ? Is the change, if any, a constant across aircraft types?

I would have thought it increased, but I recently found a perf page which shows it decreasing, and I am having difficulty reconciling this, as I would have thought the reducing thrust was more than made up for by the change in density alt and TAS.
