We used transvaginal color Doppler sonography to study uterine artery blood flow velocity waveforms in 345 normal postmenopausal women who had never been on hormone replacement therapy. Our objective was to establish the standard baseline flow values for normal postmenopausal women. The mean pulsatility index was 3.38 +/- 1.04 and the mean resistive index was 0.93 +/- 0.09. There was a positive correlation between arterial blood flow impedance and number of years since menopause. We believe that these levels may become important screening parameters for the detection of endometrial carcinoma in postmenopausal women.
