Core Tip	A continuing controversy in cardiology is the impact of estrogen on coronary arteries. This review provides the latest information on the discovery of a novel estrogen receptor in these vessels: the G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER). Recent findings demonstrate that GPER activation induces coronary artery relaxation and attenuates the proliferation and migration of coronary smooth muscle cells. Thus, GPER appears to be a promising, novel pharmacological target that could increase coronary blood flow in diseased arteries and prevent or reverse the progression of coronary atherosclerotic disease, and do so with potentially fewer dangerous side effects associated with traditional estrogen therapy.
