Question: Question: Does short-term oral estrogen replacement therapy augment endothelium-independent myocardial perfusion in postmenopausal women?

Thus potential beneficial effects of ERT on vasomotor function may be limited to enhancement of endothelium-dependent vasodilative mechanisms affecting conduit vessels.

Answer:
no
