Relation of baseline forearm vasodilator reserve to vascular endothelial response to estrogen replacement therapy in healthy postmenopausal women

Relation of baseline forearm vasodilator reserve to vascular endothelial response to estrogen replacement therapy in healthy postmenopausal women

A direct relation was found between baseline endothelial-dependent arterial dilation and improvement in endothelial function in response to estrogen therapy in healthy postmenopausal women. This finding provides a potential explanation for previously observed variations in vascular endothelial respo...
