[Effect of the treatment with femoston on the cardiovascular system in postmenopausal women].
OBJECTIVE
To assess femoston effects on the cardiovascular system in postmenopause.


METHODS
Cardiovascular effects of femoston were studied in 20 postmenopausal women with menopausal syndrome. 70% patients had arterial hypertension. Cardiovascular system was examined before the treatment and after three treatment months using 24-h monitoring of arterial pressure, echocardiography, photoplethysmography, conjunctival biomicroscopy, central hemodynamics tests.


RESULTS
In the course of femoston treatment menopausal manifestations relieved, arterial pressure was lowering. 3-month treatment has improved parameters of central and peripheral hemodynamics: total peripheral vascular resistance significantly fell, stroke and minute blood volumes, cardiac indexrose, tissue blood flow and microcirculation improved.


CONCLUSIONS
Femoston produces positive changes in cardiovascular system, vascular tone, microcirculation and arterial pressure.
