Objective To assess the effects of tibolone treatment on the hemodynamic changes of the ophthalmic artery(OA) and internal carotid artery(ICA) as sonographic markers of atherosclerosis in menopausal women.Methods A total of 30 menopausal women were treated with 2.5mg of tibolone(Livial) daily as treatment group.At the same time,30 women with natural menopause who were not given any treatment served as control group.Noninvasive measurements of the resistance index(RI) and peak systolic blood flow velocity of ICA and OA were made with ultrasound before the treatment and at 3rd,6th,9th and 12th month of treatment,respectively.Results RI of ICA and OA decreased significantly after tibolone treatment(P
