ACC / AHA 2007 Guidelines - Unstable Angina / NSTEMI - Secondary Prevention through Hormone Therapy(DO NOT EDIT) [1]
Class III |
"1. Hormone therapy with estrogen plus progestin, or estrogen alone, should not be given de novo to postmenopausal women after UA / NSTEMI for secondary prevention of coronary events. (Level A) " |
"2. Postmenopausal women who are already taking estrogen plus progestin, or estrogen alone, at the time of UA / NSTEMI in general should not continue hormone therapy. However, women who are more than 1 to 2 years past the initiation of hormone therapy who wish to continue such therapy for another compelling indication should weigh the risks and benefits, recognizing the greater risk of cardiovascular events and breast cancer (combination therapy) or stroke (estrogen). Hormone therapy should not be continued while patients are on bed rest in the hospital. (Level B)" |
