Effect of acute administration of estradiol 17 beta on aortic blood flow in menopausal women.
Acute administration of estradiol 17beta increases aortic blood flow velocity in menopausal women. This suggests that the effect of the ovarian hormone on cardiac dynamics is mainly dependent on a reduction in peripheral vascular resistances.
