内容説明

This is a high-level clinical research text updating current knowledge about the documented effects of sex steroids on the cardiovascular system. It contains nineteen chapters covering the full range of oral contraceptive issues of greatest concern to today's practitioners and researchers in gynecology, obstetrics, reproductive medicine, cardiology, and clinical pharmacology. Key contributions contain the very latest information about the relationship between oral contraceptives and coronary heart disease, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), effects of oral contraceptives on lipid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism, adverse effects of estrogen treatment, and the relationships between oral contraceptives and hemostasis and breast cancer. Includes detailed bibliographic references and a thorough index.
