Hormone replacement therapy improves arterial stiffness in normotensive postmenopausal women.
OBJECTIVES Aortic stiffness, determined by the pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent marker of cardiovascular risk. PWV is mainly influenced by age-associated alterations of arterial wall structure and blood pressure (BP). To determine the impact of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on arterial compliance in normotensive, postmenopausal women, we examined the effects of HRT on PWV. MET...
متن کاملEffect of continuous administration of conjugated estrogen plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (Premelle) in postmenopausal women in Taiwan.
BACKGROUND To compare the metabolic effects on lipids and acceptability and safety of, and compliance with, a continuous administration of conjugated estrogen plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (Premelle) versus a placebo in non-hysterectomized postmenopausal women. METHODS Sixty-six generally healthy, female, early post-menopausal women, from 45-60 years of age, were randomized for an administ...
متن کاملStatic elastic properties of the left coronary circumflex artery and the common carotid artery in dogs.
Static elastic properties were studied in isolated segments of the left coronary circumflex artery (LCCA) and the right common carotid artery (CA) from 14 dogs at in-vivo values of pressure and length. A microscope with a Filar micrometer was used to measure radius and length. From these data it was possible to study the pressure-radius relationship and compute various anisotropic elastic modul...
متن کاملAscorbic acid selectively improves large elastic artery compliance in postmenopausal women.
The compliance of large elastic arteries in the cardiothoracic region decreases with advancing age/menopause and plays an important role in the increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in postmenopausal women. We determined whether oxidative stress contributes to the reduced large elastic artery compliance of postmenopausal women. Carotid artery compliance was measured during acute intra...
متن کاملReview: estrogen improves symptoms of overactive bladder in postmenopausal women.
M e t h o d s Data sources: Studies were identified by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, Science Citation Index (January 1969 to December 1999), and reference lists of articles; and hand-searching urology, gynecology, gerontology, and primary care medicine journals. Study selection and assessment: Studies in any language were selected if they were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) th...
