Abstract

It is usually concluded that postmenopausal women have an increased incidence of coronarny artery disease. In this study, it was investigated whether there is an alteration in cardiac function in natural postmenopausal women. The subjects were 41 women who had no history about cardiac disease, 21 of whom were postmenopausal women(the experimental group), and 20 of whom were premenopausal women (control group). Physical examination and Electrocardiogram in these subjects were normal. Left ventricular Ejection Fraction were measured by Radionuclid Ventriculography to evaluate their cardiac function. There was a decrease in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in postmenopausal group. As a result it was concluded that there is a decrease in cardiac function of postmenopausal women.
