Effects of low-dose versus placebo or conventional-dose postmenopausal hormone therapy on variables related to cardiovascular risk: a systematic review and meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials. 28 trials (3360 paoents). Low- dose HT vs placebo or convenoonal- dose HT did not effect weight, BMI, BP, CRP or HDL- C. Casanova G et al J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2015 Mar; 100(3):1028-37. doi: 10.1210/jc.2014-3301.

Key points Postmenopausal hormone therapy (PMHT) is indicated for the relief of menopausal symptoms in paoents aged <60 years with climacteric symptoms Low doses of PMHT should be used when possible PMHT can be prescribed for a short period of Ome to treat osteoporosis when non- oestrogen therapies are unsuitable or in women who suffer simultaneously from climacteric symptoms and osteoporosis Postmenopausal hormone therapy: risks and benefits. Rozenberg S, Vandromme J, Antoine C. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2013 Feb 19.
Key points PMHT for PrevenOon of coronary heart disease? For young healthy women not an indicaoon but no certainly no contra- indicaoon Oestrogen therapy might reduce the risk of atherosclerosis in young women early ajer menopause, but risk of coronary heart disease might be worsened as a result of thrombosis in at- risk and elderly paoents PMHT may increase Breast cancer risk : Use of a estrogen only (hysterectomized women), sequenoal progeson and a non- androgenic progeson might be safer than use of cononuous androgenic progeson Short term (< 5 yrs entails less or no risk) long- term (>5 years) EPT containing progestagens other than progesterone or dydrogesterone may be associated with some residual risk even many years ajer treatment cessaoon Postmenopausal hormone therapy: risks and benefits.
