Abstract
HRT decreases significantly the risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women. More and more data indicate that this is true not only for unopposed oestrogen but also for combined oestrogen/progestin therapy. The latter point is of utmost importance since the global treatment strategy for women with an intact uterus includes a progestin.
