Post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shows no consistent evidence of changing stroke risk. However, some data suggest HRT may potentially increase the risk of ischaemic stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Endocrinology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is widely used.
  • Ischaemic stroke is a significant health concern in post-menopausal women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current data on the relationship between HRT and ischaemic stroke risk.
  • To evaluate the evidence from observational and experimental studies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of available epidemiological and experimental data.
  • Emphasis on the limitations of observational studies in assessing HRT's effects.

Main Results:

  • No consistent evidence demonstrates that HRT decreases or increases ischaemic stroke risk.
  • Some data suggest a potential contribution of HRT to stroke risk.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence is inconclusive regarding HRT's impact on stroke risk.
  • Further research is needed to clarify the association between HRT and ischaemic stroke.
