Compared with premenopausal women, cardiovascular disease (CVD) tends to occur more frequently in adult men and postmenopausal women (Post-MW). Also, during the reproductive years, sex hormones synthesized and released into the blood stream affect vascular function in a sex-dependent fashion. Estrogen (E2) interacts with estrogen receptors (ERs) in endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle, and the extracellular matrix, causing both genomic and non-genomic effects, including vasodilation, decreased blood pressure, and cardiovascular protection. These observations have suggested beneficial effects of female sex hormones on cardiovascular function. In addition, the clear advantages of E2 supplementation in alleviating vasomotor symptoms during menopause have led to clinical investigations of the effects of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) in CVD. However, the findings from these clinical trials have been variable and often contradictory. The lack of benefits of MHT in CVD has been related to the MHT preparation (type, dose, and route), vascular ERs (number, variants, distribution, and sensitivity), menopausal stage (MHT timing, initiation, and duration), hormonal environment (progesterone, testosterone (T), gonadotropins, and sex hormone binding globulin), and preexisting cardiovascular health and other disorders. The vascular effects of sex hormones have also prompted further examination of the use of anabolic drugs among athletes and the long-term effects of E2 and T supplements on cardiovascular health in cis- and transgender individuals seeking gender-affirming therapy. Further analysis of the effects of sex hormones and their receptors on vascular function should enhance our understanding of the sex differences and menopause-related changes in vascular signaling and provide better guidance for the management of CVD in a gender-specific fashion and in Post-MW.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26115078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,25]],"date-time":"2025-05-25T20:26:50Z","timestamp":1748204810000},"page":"5078","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Hormone Replacement Therapy and Cardiovascular Health in Postmenopausal Women"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5742-8591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenhan","family":"Xia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Research Laboratories, Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raouf A.","family":"Khalil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Research Laboratories, Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e347","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000001209","article-title":"2024 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics: A Report of US and Global Data From the American Heart Association","volume":"149","author":"Martin","year":"2024","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium, Magnussen, C., Ojeda, F.M., Leong, D.P., Alegre-Diaz, J., Amouyel, P., Aviles-Santa, L., De Bacquer, D., Ballantyne, C.M., and Bernab\u00e9-Ortiz, A.
