Researchers who want to reopen the question of whether hormone replacement can stave off heart disease in middle-aged women say they have secured $12 million to fund a pilot study that will begin next year. The study design differs from the protocol used by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), the 16,000-subject clinical trial of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shut down in July 2002, 3 years early.
