The Council of women menopause comes to 4,200 conclusion that HRT might protect against heart disease, reducing one of the main causes of death. The scientists found that women ages 50s and 60s who take hormone replacement therapy pills are 30 percent less likely todie during the eight years monitored. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, in California thought estrogen HRT stops lead toartery-blocking, liston and stiffness-the main cause of heart attacks and strokes. They found that women who took the pill the low 36% probability of high levels of calcium in your heart — a key indicator of the risk of a heart attack and artery blockage.
Research leader Dr Yoav Arnson, the team that kept track of the woman, saying: ' with a proper projection and tracked right from a cardiovascular point of view I think it's beneficial to take hormone replacement therapy. ' Our results confirm previous work to improve and the show less atherosclerosis [artery obstruction]. In addition, we have demonstrated survival benefits very clear use of hormone replacement therapy. ' United Kingdom estimated 1 million women take hormone replacement therapy to deal with menopause, which often occur in the late 1940s and early 50s, HRT address symptoms such as depression, hot flashes, and night sweats provide estrogen, that the body stops producing it. But the numbers who take the drug have fallen since 2000, when an important study raised concerns that it raised the risk of certain forms of cancer.
Increase, however, evidence that the threat of cancer might have been dibesar-and the HRT may also protect against other health problems, including heart disease. Dr. Arnson, who is scheduled to present the results of next week at the American College of Cardiology's annual Conference in Washington DC, said estrogen may protect the heart to reduce cholesterol and increase the flexibility of blood vessels and arteries, allowing them to accommodate the flow of blood. He said that this may explain why women are more likely to suffer a heart attack after menopause.
' Given hormone replacement therapy for atherosclerosis lower placeand enhance the viability of all ages and for all levels of coronary calcium, ' said Dr Arnson. ' We believe that it is useful, but needs study candidates or random to specify groups that do not benefit or even harmed by this therapy. a ' showed that HRT is not suitable for everyone. Women who have had a heart attack, had known heart disease orhave a history of blood clots are advised against taking the treatment. Fears for the safety of hormone replacement therapy was raised for the first time in 2002 when a large American study women 160,000 suggested it doubled the risk of breast cancer. In 2003, British research suggests that HRT increases significantly the chances of contracting breast cancer and later died. In the next few years the number of women menopause drugs fell, 36 percent before the study about 10 percent today. But nice new NHS guideline guidelines published in November 2015 advising GPs started offering the drug to women most of the Trustees. Officials say that women should have a clear explanation about the risks, stressing that 1,000 women who take HRT for five years, there will be only six additional cases of breast cancer and ovarian cancer cases additional 1.5. Dr. Jasmine Just, Cancer Research UK's health information officer, said last night: "hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms, but can also increase the risk of certain cancers." Whether or not to use hormone replacement therapy is individual choice, and it's important that women have the information they need to make decisions that arebest for them. If you consider using hormone replacement therapy is a good idea to discuss the risk and benefits with your doctor. '
WOMEN SHOULD HAVE YEARLY BREAST EXAMS?
One in four women over 50 should be screened for breast cancer every year, research shows. Women between 50 and 70 currently principles receive mammograms once every three years on the NHS. But ourresearch has suggested that women with breasts ' high density ' should be evaluated annually instead.
