Menopause and myocardial infarction.
Age and circumstances of menopause (natural or artificial) are detailed in 104 cases of recent myocardial infarction (MI). The results of this study with statistical analysis show no correlation between the age at menopause and the age at onset of MI; so for this study, an early menopause, cannot be considered, whatever circumstances, as a risk factor for coronary heart disease.
