Aim: To assess femoston effects on the cardiovascular system in postmenopause.
Material and 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.
Conclusion: Femoston produces positive changes in cardiovascular system, vascular tone, microcirculation and arterial pressure.
