Hello johnor,
I have looked around the Internet and found the information that I list below.
The first is an unlikely site to find the information, though it may
have what you are looking for:
AR.net >> Horses Go on the Auction Block After Premarin Sales Decline:
http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2004/000021.html
- "Following the 2002 report by the Women's Health Initiative that
found relatively modest increases in risk for some health problems
among those who took Premarin, sales of the drug dropped like a stone.
The WHI study found that women taking the drugs had a 41 percent
increased risk of strokes, a 29 percent increased risk of heart
attacks, and a 26 percent increased risk of breast cancer."
It appears that the study was done by the WHI or Women's Health Initiative.
Next:
Prempro injury - causes of life threatening Prempro injury:
http://www.monheit.com/prempro/problem.shtml
- This is a website showing a study on the effects of the drug
Prempro, probably a brand of Premarin, posted by the Monheit Law Firm.
"Evidence is clear that Prempro injury side effects and other estrogen
progestin combinations can actually harm perfectly healthy women.
Women taking Prempro have a 29 percent higher risk of heart attack, 41
percent higher risk of Prempro stroke, and 26 percent higher risk of
breast cancer. Prempro was also found to double the risk of dementia
and Alzheimer's disease."
Here is a more general study on hormone usage contributing to heart
attack probability:

- "The report, an analysis of data from the Initiative, is published
today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The researchers found that a woman's risk of a heart attack rises by
81 percent in the first year of hormone therapy. It levels off, so
that after 5.6 years the length of the study the increased risk is 24
percent."
