Abstract 226: Strokes Worse in Women at 24 hours but Severity Reduced in Younger Women With Hormone Therapy Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Women in this study had more severe 24 hour AIS outcomes than men but this improved with HRT use in women younger than 80 years. This cannot be fully explained by age differences as there could be other underlying factors. Improving 24 hour NIHSS may correctly predict later outcomes following AIS. Further study of HRT use in AIS outcomes is justified.

Menopausal hormone therapy and risk of cardiovascular events in women with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes: A pooled analysis of 2917 postmenopausal women
CONCLUSIONS: MHT is associated with statistically reduced CVD risk among white but not black women with PreDM or DM. Race is an effect modifier in the association between MHT use and CVD.PMID:35114556 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2022.01.016

Anti-M üllerian Hormone Trajectories Are Associated With Cardiovascular Disease in Women: Results From the Doetinchem Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that AMH trajectories in women are independently associated with CVD risk. Therefore, we postulate that the decline of circulating AMH levels may be part of the pathophysiology of the increased cardiovascular risk of earlier menopause. Confirmation of this association and elucidation of its underlying mechanisms are needed to place these results in a clinical perspective. PMID: 28153992 [PubMed - in process]

Aromatase Inhibitors and the Risk of Cardiovascular Outcomes in Women With Breast Cancer: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: In this population-based study, aromatase inhibitors were associated with increased risks of heart failure and cardiovascular mortality compared with tamoxifen. There were also trends toward increased risks, although nonsignificant, of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. The increased risk of cardiovascular events associated with aromatase inhibitors should be balanced with their favorable clinical benefits compared with tamoxifen.

Cochrane corner: oral hormone therapy and cardiovascular outcomes in post-menopausal women
Introduction Hormone therapy (HT) is commonly prescribed for the relief of climacteric symptoms in post-menopausal women; 54% (620490) of women enrolled in the Million Women Study1 in the UK (mean age 56 years) have tried it and 31% (358252) use it. Observational studies have shown oral HT is associated with lower rates of cardiovascular disease in post-menopausal women2; however randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have presented mixed results. The 2002 publication of the Women's Health Initiative I (WHI I) reported an association between combined oestrogen and progestin use and increased rates of both coronary heart...

Cardiovascular Complications of Prostate Cancer Therapy
AbstractPurpose of reviewWith treatment advances, the most common cause of death in prostate cancer patients is cardiovascular disease. Discerning the contribution of prostate cancer treatment on cardiovascular complications versus the natural progression of cardiovascular disease remains an ongoing area of investigation. Evaluating the research and identifying opportunities for further investigation is critical for optimal care of this prostate cancer patient population.Recent findingsThe degree that hormone therapy contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remains uncertain with conflicting results from large...

Current Perspective on Menopause Hormone Therapy and Cardiovascular Risk
AbstractPurpose of reviewIn past decades, there has a been a paradigm shift concerning menopause, hormone therapy (HT), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). While initial observational studies suggested hormone replacement to provide a cardioprotective benefit for all menopausal women, subsequent large randomized trials have not confirmed these benefits and furthermore brought to light the risks of HT with regard to CVD, venous thrombosis, and stroke. The goal of this review is to summarize current recommendations regarding HT as it pertains to cardiovascular risk.Recent FindingsMenopause HT remains the most effective treatme...
