Overall research theme:Cardiovascular disease and postmenopausal replacement therapy: Clinical, epidemiological and experimentalstudies Senior staff member(s): Position(s): Department/institution/address/telephone/fax:Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of CopenhagenH:S Hvidovre Hospital, Kettegaard Allé 30, DK 2650 HvidovreTel.: 3632 3632 Fax: 3632 3361 Characteristics of the research group: Hormone replacement therapy and cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women.
Both epidemiological and experimental studies indicate a cardioprotective effect of estrogen as well as acombination of estrogen plus progestin on ischemic heart disease. This notion has recently beenquestioned by a randomised clinical trial. The aim of the research team is to elucidate the effect of varioushormone regimens in clinical, biological and epidemiological studies.
