Abstract

Postmenopausal women have reduced levels of female sex hormones and this may play a significant role in the onset of cardiovascular disease. Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), which is primarily prescribed for the treatment of perimenopausal symptoms, has been associated with risk of coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke in women. This review will summarize the outcomes of observational studies and randomized clinical trials that have investigated the influence of MHT use on the cardiovascular system. In addition, it will explore how the timing of MHT prescription relative to menopause, dosage and route of administration may alter the impact of MHT on cardiovascular health.
