I10-R327-article-279192024-08-27T18:27:49Z Cardiovascular disease and hormone therapy. Current status of the controversy Enfermedad cardiovascular terapia hormonal en reemplazo: estado actual de la controversia Siseles, Néstor Gutiérrez, Pamela . The cardiovascular effects of female sex steroids have many faces and are very complex. To make this situation even more complicated different therapeutic regimens, types, dosages or routes of administration may exhibit different effects of estrogens and progestines in postmenopausal women. Furthermore, the interpretation of population studies may be problematic by itself, in view of so many confounders and biases involved and methodological flaws that sometimes are discovered only post-hoc. It seems therefore, that in such a complicated situation making definite conclusions and guidelines is almost an impossible task. Our suggestion to clinicians is to try and follow the main stream of clinical data, looking at the general picture rather than the small details, and try to individualize therapy in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the adverse reactions and risks. This article discusses the current knowledge on hormone replacement therapy and the cardiovascular system. It is not an overview since data are vast, but in the post-WHl era this chapter presents current ideas and trends in this field to be used by people who practice menopause medicine for their own clinical decisions Los efectos cardiovasculares de los esteroides sexuales en la mujer son complejos y para complicar aún más la situación existen diferencias en los efectos de los distintos regímenes terapéuticos, dosis y vías de administración de la terapia hormonal de reemplazo (THR) en la post-menopausia. Incluso la interpretación de los estudios clínicos es problemática en vista de múltiples factores que pueden llevar a confusión, además de los sesgos y defectos metodológicos encontrados en algunas circunstancias post-hoc. En este contexto plantear conclusiones definitivas y recomendaciones parecería una tarea imposible. Nuestra sugerencia para la práctica clínica diaria es intentar seguir la corriente principal de la información científica, analizar los datos generales e intentar individualizar la THR para maximizar los beneficios y minimizar los efectos adversos. Este artículo resume el estado actual de la THR y el sistema cardiovascular. Dado lo vasto de la información en la era postWHl, solo presentamos las ideas actuales y tendencias en este campo para el uso práctico del profesional en sus decisiones clínicas.

The cardiovascular effects of female sex steroids have many faces and are very complex. To make this situation even more complicated different therapeutic regimens, types, dosages or routes of administration may exhibit different effects of estrogens and progestines in postmenopausal women. Furthermore, the interpretation of population studies may be problematic by itself, in view of so many confounders and biases involved and methodological flaws that sometimes are discovered only post-hoc. It seems therefore, that in such a complicated situation making definite conclusions and guidelines is almost an impossible task. Our suggestion to clinicians is to try and follow the main stream of clinical data, looking at the general picture rather than the small details, and try to individualize therapy in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the adverse reactions and risks. This article discusses the current knowledge on hormone replacement therapy and the cardiovascular system. It is not an overview since data are vast, but in the post-WHl era this chapter presents current ideas and trends in this field to be used by people who practice menopause medicine for their own clinical decisions |
