EFFECT OF RALOXIFENE ON RETROB- ULBAR HEMODYNAMICS IN POST- MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

摘要

Purpose: Raloxifene is known to reduce flow resistance in selected vasculature. This study examined the effect of raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) on retrobulbar blood flow. Methods: Right eyes of fifteen postmenopausal women receiving raloxifene were compared with right eyes of fifteen postmenopausal age-matched women not receiving raloxifene. Using color Doppler imaging the peak systolic velocity (PSV),
