Long-Term Hormone Replacement Therapy and Coronary Calcium Score There was an association between lower CAC scores and longer duration of HRT use, with a difference in median CAC of approximately 50% between the groups of never HRT and 16 or more years of HRT (P < 001)
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Heart Health - Cedars-Sinai After accounting for age, coronary calcium score and cardiovascular risk factors including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, women receiving estrogen were: "In terms of cardiovascular health, I believe it is beneficial to take hormone replacement therapy," Dr Arnson added
Coronary and Aortic Calcification Among Women 8 Years After Menopause . . . Use of hormone replacement therapy was associated with less coronary calcium (NS) For both hormone replacement therapy users and nonusers, the levels of LDL-C and HDL-C measured premenopausally were predictors of coronary and aortic calcium scores
Physical Activity, Hormone Replacement Therapy, and the Presence of . . . Hormone therapy users had a significantly lower prevalence of any coronary artery calcium (defined as coronary artery calcium score >0; 37%), than non-users (50%, p = 0 04), as well as significantly lower mean calcium scores (p = 0 02)
Of Hearts and Hormones - Cedars-Sinai New evidence may reverse that trend Reviewing 4,200 women’s coronary calcium scans — an indicator of plaque buildup — Cedars-Sinai investigators found that those who used HRT had a much lower coronary calcium score and were 30 percent less likely to die
The association of hormone replacement therapy and coronary calcium as . . . Examination of the association between coronary calcium (CC), a marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden, and the use of HRT in postmenopausal women may help address this paradox Methods: The study population comprised 641 asymptomatic postmenopausal women, 425 (66%) of whom were taking HRT
