Actual (reported)Recent large randomized, placebo-controlled studies assessing the health effects of HT question the overall benefits of long term HT, especially with respect to cardiovascular disease. However, recently menopausal women with severe hot flushes were mostly excluded from these trials. This was unfortunate since vasomotor symptoms may reflect different vascular sensitivity to estrogen or its deficiency, and therefore, the vascular responses to HT in women with and without hot flushes can differ. Aims of the present project are
