Hormone Replacement Therapy and Associated Risk of Stroke in Postmenopausal Women
Arch Int Med 162:1954-1960, Lemaitre,R.N.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
However, the risks of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke were increased 2-fold during the first 6 months of hormone use (ischemic stroke: 2.16 [1.04-4.49], hemorrhagic stroke: 2.20 [0.83-5.81]). Risk of ischemic stroke also increased wi th estrogen dose (P for trend = .03). The transitory increase in risks of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke associated with initiation of hormone replacement therapy merits further investigation.
