Patient's BP is 138/89 mm Hg, pulse is 75 beats per minute, S1 and S2 sounds are without accents and free of bruits, respirations are unlabored, 14 per minute. The patient's chief complaint is hot flashes, occurring up to 15 times a day. Her menopause started a year ago. You decide to begin hormone replacement therapy with Climara (estradiol transdermal system, 0.05mg/day) patches. Which of the following effects on lipid profile is reasonable to expect in this patient within 6-12 months based on results from clinical trials?
