Abstract EN
Coronary heart disease is the main cause of death in postmenopausal women (PMW); moreover its mortality exceeds those for breast cancer in women at all ages.
Type II diabetes mellitus is a major cardiovascular risk factor and there is some evidence that the risk conferred by diabetes is greater in women than in men.
It was established that the deficiency of endogenous estrogens promotes the atherosclerosis process.
However, the impact of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on cardiovascular prevention remains controversial.
Some authors strongly recommend it, whereas others revealed a concerning trend toward harm.
This review tries to underlines the different components of cardiovascular risk in diabetic PMW and to define the place of ERT.
