Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in healthy postmenopausal women. However recent studies suggest a 2-4 fold increased risk of idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE) among users of HRT. Our aim was to evaluate the overall effect of HRT on hemostatic variables probably related to increased VTE risk reported in epidemiological studies.

Abstract

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in healthy postmenopausal women. However recent studies suggest a 2-4 fold increased risk of idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE) among users of HRT. Our aim was to evaluate the overall effect of HRT on hemostatic variables probably related to increased VTE risk reported in epidemiological studies.
