Source: ESTROGEN DOESN'T PREVENT 2nd HEART ATTACK
Summary:
Observational studies have noted that postmenopausal women taking estrogen
have less heart disease than others
In a clinical, placebo-controlled study of women with existing heart
disease, women taking hormone replacement therapy showed no difference in
second heart attacks than others, but did have a higher incidence of
gallbladder disease and blood clots
Women already taking HRT can continue, but it shouldn't be started for
secondary prevention
Comment:
Cardiac rehab and subsequent continuing exercise is still
effective in preventing second heart attacks
