One-year treatment with hormone replacement therapy influenced favorably a number of prognostic cardiovascular risk factors in healthy women. The most important effect was the lowering of fibrinogen. Furthermore, in this study the effect of hormone replacement therapy on hemostasis did not deviate between a cyclic estrogen/sequential progestogen regimen and a continuous estrogen/sequential progestogen regimen. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1999;180:283-9.)
