title: Effect of acute administration of estradiol 17 beta on aortic blood flow in menopausal women.
abstract: 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.
