Overview

Clinical review reveals targeted benefits of hormone therapy in postmenopausal women with heart disease or prior hysterectomy, highlighting selective indication.

Key Points

To evaluate whether hormone replacement therapy effectively prevents disease and extends survival in postmenopausal women across different baseline health profiles.
Assessed indications and therapeutic strategies for hormone therapy across distinct postmenopausal patient subgroups.
Evaluated outcomes according to history of surgical menopause (hysterectomy) and baseline cardiovascular risk status.
Hormone therapy demonstrates probable therapeutic benefit and is recommended for women who have undergone a hysterectomy.
Therapy is supported for women presenting with established coronary heart disease or elevated cardiovascular risk, whereas evidence remains insufficient to define optimal management for other postmenopausal women.
