...taking the hormone combination estrogen and progestin (Prempro)--because of an increased risk of breast cancer and heart disease. (Women with a uterus who want to try hormone therapy must take both hormones because estrogen alone increases the risk of uterine cancer.) Two years later, the estrogen-only (Premarin) part of the trial, which focused on nearly 11,000 postmenopausal women who had undergone a hysterectomy, was stopped because of a slightly greater risk of stroke--although there was no overall boost in heart disease. Preliminary evidence at the time suggested that estrogen did not increase the women's risk...

The mortality rate for women with one or more risk factors for heart disease, for example, dropped 49% compared with only 11% for women with no risk factors (that is, women who are nonsmokers, who are not overweight and who don't have high blood pressure, diabetes or a family history of heart disease...
