The management of the climacteric syndrome has become, within the last decade, an important subject, both for women and physicians. Most of the distressing symptoms associated with the perimenopausal years can be prevented with proper hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). The evidence shows that in addition to symptom relief, HRT is also effective in the prevention of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
‘Menopause and the Heart’ is a technically detailed clinical reference on using HRT in the prevention of cardiovascular disease in menopausal women. Featuring contributions from an international panel of experts, it explores emerging issues such as the risks in long- and short-term HRT use, comprehensive benefit/risk analysis, beneficial effects of estrogens in the cardiovascular system, and more.
A detailed clinical reference on using HRT in the prevention of cardiovascular disease in menopausal women exlporing the risks in long- and short-term HRT use and the beneficial effects of estrogens in the cardiovascular system.
