Case Study
Ms. Inna is a 55-year-old woman who has been on HRT for 4 years. HRT was prescribed because Ms. Inna was experiencing vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause.

Except for the HRT, Ms. Inna is taking no medication other than a daily vitamin. She had a tubal ligation after the birth of her third child but has had no other surgeries or history of any medical conditions. Her father had cardiovascular disease and died of a myocardial infarction at 77 years of age. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 81 years of age. Ms. Inna does not smoke and rarely drinks alcohol. She likes to work in her garden but is not involved in a formal exercise program. She has gained about 10 pounds since menopause.
