title: [Variations in the pulsatile index of the uterine arteries in postmenopausal women receiving hormone replacement therapy].
abstract: The authors studied variations in the pulsatility index of the uterine arteries in postmenopausal women who had received hormone replacement treatment (HRT) for at least one year and compared them to those in a control group not receiving HRT. The results showed a significant variation in this index with the tendency to assume lower values compared to the control group, thus resulting in increased uterine vascularization, almost resembling that observed during the child-bearing period. This drop in the pulsatility index should probably be considered the anatomo-functional in patients not receiving HRT.
