[Cardiovascular risks induced by estrogens prescribed at low doses. 208 years of observation--137 patients]

Abstract:
The cardiovascular risk induced by oestrogen treatment appears to be minimal when oestrogens are prescribed at low doses (daily dose less than 3 mg/day) and when this drug is not prescribed in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease. The Prostatic Cancer Cooperative Study Group compared the course of 137 patients treated by oestrogens with a French male population matched for age: ten accidents were observed versus nine expected and one death was observed versus 3 expected. By selecting patients, oestrogens can therefore still be part of the range of treatments available for advanced prostatic cancer.

Overview of the Cardiovascular System
Heart
The heart is the central pump of the cardiovascular system that circulates blood throughout the body. It comprises two atria receiving the blood and two ventricles pumping blood out of the heart. Their rhythmic contractions, called heartbeats, ensure that blood flow remains continuous.
