July 30, 2014 News Review From Harvard Medical School -- Study: Early Hormone Therapy OK for Heart Short-term hormone therapy for menopause symptoms is unlikely to harm the heart, a new study suggests. An earlier, large-scale study linked hormone replacement therapy with higher risks of heart disease and stroke. But the women in that study were well past the age of menopause. The new study included 727 women, ages 42 to 58. They were no more than 3 years past menopause. All were at low risk of heart disease. The women were randomly divided into 3 groups. One group took pills containing low doses of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Another group took progesterone pills and wore estrogen skin patches. The third group received placebo patches and pills. They contained no hormones. Everyone had ultrasound tests to show the thickness of artery walls in the neck. Another test looked at new calcium deposits in arteries around the heart. These are tests for atherosclerosis, the cause of most heart attacks and strokes. After four years, researchers did the same tests again. Increases in artery thickness and calcium deposits were about the same for all three groups. The journal Annals of Internal … Continue reading →

By Kathleen Doheny HealthDay Reporter Latest Womens Health News MONDAY, July 28, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Healthy women at low risk of cardiovascular disease may be able to take hormone replacement therapy soon after menopause for a short time without harming their hearts, according to a new study. Previous studies, including the large-scale Women's Health Initiative, found that hormone replacement therapy had harmful effects on the heart. But, many of those women were older when they began the hormone treatments, and much further past menopause. In this new study, researchers wanted to look at how markers of heart disease, such as the thickness of artery walls, might be affected if healthy women began hormone therapy soon after menopause. "We were expecting it to slow down the progress of arterial disease," said study researcher Dr. S. Mitchell Harman, chief of the endocrine division and interim chief of medicine at the Phoenix VA Healthcare System. That, in turn, would reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. The results, however, did not turn out that way. "We cannot recommend estrogen for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, even in this younger healthier group," he said. The good news? "It doesn't hurt either," Harman … Continue reading →

Hormone-replacement therapy started soon after menopause seems safe and lowers some markers of heart-disease risk while significantly reducing hot flashes, according to a multicenter trial published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on Monday. Use of hormone-replacement drugs fell sharply after 2002 when the Women's Health Initiative, a major government research trial, found that they raised the risk of heart attack and stroke in older women. Some experts speculated that the ill effects might be due to the age of the women in the study, known as the WHI; most were in their 60s and 10 years or more past menopause. Some experts also believed that other forms of hormone therapy might have different effects. The new study, commissioned by the privately funded Kronos Longevity Research Institute, aimed at testing those hypotheses. Researchers at nine academic centers enrolled 727 healthy women aged 42 to 58 who were no more than three years past menopause. They were randomized to take a form of hormone therapy either oral estrogen or an estrogen patch or a placebo. Those on active estrogen also took a form of progesterone if they still had a uterus, to protect against uterine cancer. Heart attacks and strokes are … Continue reading →

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 25, 2014 In recent years, men have become more aware of, willing to talk about, and eager to reverse the symptoms associated with age-related testosterone decline. Amid concerns about testosterone and heart health in the media at large, a new case study from Renew Man helps to shed light on the real benefits of testosterone therapy using bioidentical hormones. The case study centers around a patient named Jason, a 38-year-old father from Seattle who found himself beginning to feel the effects of age-related hormonal decline. Jason described himself as a skinny fatty, who at 511 and 165 pounds had 18.5 percent body fat. Despite serious efforts to lose the weight on his own through healthy exercise, Jason was unable to shed this stubborn body fat. Jason also found himself suffering from fatigue at work, where he relied on caffeine to get him through the day, and at home, where he lacked the energy to keep up with his active 7-year-old son. After being referred to a Renew Man doctor, Jason learned that the symptoms he had been experiencing were the result of natural hormonal decline, specifically low testosterone. Under the care of a Renew Man … Continue reading →
