Problem-patients in HRT
Since the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) has been stopped 2002 due to increased risk of venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, stroke and breast cancer, safety issues have got great concern using hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, using lower dosages, other hormonal components and/or transdermal instead of oral application can reduce those risks although not demonstrated in a placebo-controlled study comparable to WHI. However, this has been shown in large case/control- and cohort-studies reflecting more practical conditions in contrast to WHI.

P –358 Characteristics of patients with inherited thrombophilia and anticoagulant treatment in repeated implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL)
AbstractStudy questionDo patients with inherited thrombophilia associated to RIF and RPL benefit from anticoagulant therapy?Summary answerLow molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in patients with medium and high risk of hereditary thrombophilia, associated with RIF could improve the reproductive prognosis.What is known alreadyThrombophilia is a condition that can be acquired and/or inherited genetically, that is characterized by the predisposition of patients to form venous and arterial thromboembolic events. Inherited thrombophilia has been associated with different complications during pregnancy, such as RPL. Genetic variants...

Menopausal Hormone Replacement Therapy and Reduction of All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Disease: It Is About Time and Timing
Cancer J. 2022 May-Jun 01;28(3):208-223. doi: 10.1097/PPO.0000000000000591.ABSTRACTThe totality of evidence indicates menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) effects are determined by timing of initiation according to age and/or time since menopause, underlying health of target tissue, and duration of therapy. Initiated in women at younger than 60 years and/or at or near menopause, HRT significantly reduces all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD), whereas other primary CVD prevention therapies such as lipid-lowering fail to do so. The magnitude and type of HRT-associated risks, including breast cancer, st...
