Does hormone replacement therapy (hrt) increase a woman's risk for heart disease or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: It reduces the risk of developing plaque which reduces long term risk. However, it increases the risk of forming clots, especially in smokers, which is the final step leading to stroke or heart attack.
