BACKGROUND: A possible increase in the incidence of venous thromboembolic events has been reported among users of third generation oral contraceptives. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a low dose oral contraceptive (15 microg ethinyl estradiol/60 microg gestodene) on the venous endothelial function of healthy young women.
METHODS: Prospective case control study using the dorsal hand vein technique. Venous endothelial function was evaluated at baseline and after 4 months in the oral contraceptive users group (11 women) and in a control group (9 women). After preconstriction of the vein with phenylephrine, dose-response curves for acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside were constructed.
RESULTS: In the contraceptive users group, a reduction occurred in the maximum venodilation response to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside after 4 months of oral contraceptive use, but this difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). No significant changes were detected in maximum venodilation responses to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside at the 4-month time point in the control group.
CONCLUSION: This study found no significant impairment of endothelium-dependent or independent venodilation in healthy young women following oral contraceptive use. Further studies are necessary using the same methodology in a larger sample over a longer follow-up period.
