In 15 postmenopausal women with no cardiovascular risk factors, hormone replacement with transdermal estradiol (50 microg/day for 2 months) did not enhance flow-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation, reduce endothelium-independent vasodilation, and did not modify the pulsatility index and blood flow of the brachial artery. The present data do not support a positive effect of replacement with transdermal estradiol on vessel vasodilation in healthy, postmenopausal women.

Abstract

In 15 postmenopausal women with no cardiovascular risk factors, hormone replacement with transdermal estradiol (50 microg/day for 2 months) did not enhance flow-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation, reduce endothelium-independent vasodilation, and did not modify the pulsatility index and blood flow of the brachial artery. The present data do not support a positive effect of replacement with transdermal estradiol on vessel vasodilation in healthy, postmenopausal women.
