ACOG Chicago..a sad story-Heart disease in womenFrom: jkulkin (jkulkin@mindspring.com)Wed May 2 17:33:13 2001
Went to an interactive session. You know, where you use the "audeince participation" device like they do on "who wants to be a millionaire". The topic was HRT. The case posed was, "A 54 yo lady s/p MI now presents with menopausal symptoms i.e., amenorrhea, hot flashes, trouble sleeping etc. They then listed the options for treatment . As I recall they were: HRT SERM Bisphosphonates Belergal There was one more but I forget what it was though it was irrelevant. An incredible 71% responded they would give the patient HRT. Clearly they were unaware of the HERS data indicating an increased risk of repeat MI in the first year in this group of women with known heart disease. . Pretty troubling to think this is happening.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
