The Protective Effects of Estrogen on the Cardiovascular System
Abstract
The incidence of cardiovascular disease differs significantly between men and women, in part because of differences in risk factors and hormones.1 The incidence of atherosclerotic diseases is low in premenopausal women, rises in postmenopausal women, and is reduced to premenopausal levels in postmenopausal women who receive estrogen therapy.13 Until recently, the atheroprotective effects of estrogen were attributed principally to the hormone's effects on serum lipid concentrations. However, estrogen-induced alterations in serum lipids account for only approximately one third of the observed clinical benefits of estrogen.35 Reviews of the data suggest that the direct actions of estrogen on blood . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
