27 The Association between Venous & Arterial Thrombosis Arterial and venous thrombosis share common risk factors e.g. age, obesity, smoking, cancer etc. Data from nationwide Danish medical databases: Adjusted RR for MI/stroke 1y after PE: 2.73 (95% CI ) Increased long-term (20yFU) risk of subsequent arterial event Sorensen HT. et al, Lancet 2007;370; Common abnormalities of various blood constituents e.g. CRP, fibrinogen Luxembourg B. et al, thromb haemost, 2009; 102; Markers of endothelial dysfunction significantly higher in patients with unprovoked DVT than in matched controls Migliacci R. et al, haematologica, 2007;2; Microalbuminuria, usually associated with arterial cardiovascular events, independently associated with an increased risk for VTE as well Mahmoodi BK et al, JAMA, 2009;301; Cumulative incidence of arterial events in patients with idiopathic VTE and controls adjusted HR: 2.86; 95% CI:

29 Is postmenopausal HT suitable after Arterial event?? HRT impact on cardiovascular events in randomized trials: non-fatal cardiovascular (CV) events, cardiovascular and total mortality not significantly affected Estrogen more risky for women > 60y and in later stages of atherosclerosis Anderson GL et al, for WHI JAMA 2004;291(14): Salpeter SR. et al, J Gen Intern Med 2006;21(4): Risk of CV events temporarily increased (X2.5) in the first year after starting HRT. Recommendation: not to start HRT within the first year after a CV event (WHI, HERS, NHS) Management of CV risk factors lowers risk (???) Choice of HRT: Low dose estradiol preferentially as transdermal patches, +/- metabolically neutral progestins appears to convey lower risk Should HRT be discontinued after the onset of a cardiovascular event? Observational studies not conclusive. Labeled as contraindicated in women after MI Cumulative incidence of arterial events Meta-analysis of relative risks of HRT in cardiovascular secondary prevention Windler E. et al, Arch Gynecol Obstet (2015) 291: Main C. et al, Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2013

30 Summary HT is the most effective treatment for climacteric symptoms The beneficial effect should be weighted against the risks, especially the thrombotic risk Choose wisely: Whom to treat: Thrombophilia or previous thrombosis Family history Age Other acquired risk factors and co-morbidities Management of transient risk factors Which treatment to administer chemical structure of estrogens, Pharmacologic class of progestogens Route dose duration
