Postmenopausal oestrogen treatment and stroke: a prospective study.

Abstract: in 1981 were estimated to be taking ji blockers,' but nearly all of them would have to have survived because of fl blockade for this to account solely for the increased survival rates; this is unlikely given the modest effect on survival of j i blockers taken after infarction. 12

“…Hormone replacement therapy is known to affect laboratory measures of hemostasis, 26 but the results of studies assessing the clinical effects on stroke are conflicting. [27][28][29][30][31][32] Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy appears to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism. [33][34][35][36][37][38] Thrombi forming in the left atrium of AF patients are pathologically closer to venous than arterial thrombi, and the emergence of hormone replacement therapy as independently associated with stroke in patients with AF is intriguing.…”

“…A series of cohorts and casecontrol studies have, however, suggested a benefit from increased levels of activity in middle age and beyond.' [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The importance of exercise habits when young in determining future patterns of activity is now appreciated. 25 No study suggesting an adverse effect of exercise on the risk of stroke has been identified.…”

“…Four studies either classified or analyzed physical activity only as low versus other 30 -33 ; 2 studies analyzed physical activity on a continuous scale 34,35 ; and 2 studies reported death rates or relative risks (RRs) without CIs, and therefore the variances of the RRs were inestimable. 36,37 …”
