Previous Use of Unopposed Estrogen Hormone Replacement Therapy Continues to Cause Increased Risk for Future Ischemic Strokes (S4.008)
Conclusions:Previous use of unopposed estrogen HRT continues to increase risk for ischemic stroke after they are discontinued, although combination of estrogen and progesterone HRT do no continue to have a significantly increased risk. Future prospective studies are required to further investigate these correlations.Disclosure: Dr. Rahman has nothing to disclose. Dr. Thomas has nothing to disclose.

Transient ischemic attacks in post-menopausal women with history of migraines have lower risk for subsequent ischemic strokes (P2.306)
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of ischemic stroke is lower following TIA in women with migraine history (compared with those without migraine) suggesting potentially different pathophysiology in such women.Disclosure: Dr. Rahman has nothing to disclose.

Carotid plaque thickness is positively associated with decreased bone mineral density (P2.264)

A Post-Hoc Assessment of Current Hormone Therapy on Revascularization Risk in Women: The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial (CREST) (P03.168)
CONCLUSIONS: We found that women on current HRT have lower periprocedural risk associated with CAS or CEA than non-users, but little difference in risk after the procedural period. The mechanism for this unexpected finding is elusive. We urge caution in the interpretation of this post-hoc observation and encourage replication or refutation by other revascularization studies with similar data.Disclosure: Dr. Mackey has nothing to disclose.
