Abstract:
The frequence of ischemic heart disease occurring increases 2-3 fold in postmenopausal period. It is a result of serum lipid profile changes. Estrogenotherapy restores correct lipid relations and protect coronary vessels in this way, preventing stenocardia and cardiac infarcts. Divergent opinions coexist with including progestogens to estrogen replacement therapy. However a view that well selected doses and kind of hormone effectively enhance serum HDL level, begins to prevail.
