The influence of hypoestrogenism has always been considered as a risk factor in the cardiovascular system of women during the climacteric and menopause; however, there exist important differences between the observational researches made during the 80's and the first half of the 90's of the last century that stressed the protection of replacement hormone therapy on the cardiovascular system, and the researches carried out from 1998 on up to now that show that hormone therapy does not protect the cardiovascular system and may have a negative effect on it. These differences have sown many doubts so far.
