Dr. Brinton explores the various risks associated with estrogen, provides guidance on how to evaluate the use of estrogen in postmenopausal women, as well as the practice of stopping estrogen. Tune in to hear Dr. Brinton identify the evidence that supports the cardio-protective effects of estrogen as well the relationship between stroke and estrogen use.
